smidey Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I have introduced a new fish to my tank this week & he has immediately taking over the joint. See my sig below for stocking. Previously the main man in the tank was one of my four fryeri. he has not been overly aggresive, the other males have always been fully coloured the same as him & he didn't really chase anyone when he wasn't spawing. The new boss is my new Auloncara Baenschi male. within the first hour he had chased all the fryeri to the corners where they have basically stayed for a week, sitting not to far below the surface staring at the room outside the tank. i would never have thought this would have been the case.

ryanjury Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 My boss is probably my big dolphin male, followed by the ice blue and cobalt blue males.. My fryeri too is a big push over he's breeding at the moment and I watched my yellow male half his size face him yesterday and win.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut2110 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hi Smidey, The boss in my tank is the baenschi male as well. It used to be the Maleri Red but as soon as the Baenschi got to a similar phycisal size the dynamics changed very quickly. He also started bossing the others around a lot so I have actually pulled him from the tank and stuck him in one of his own for a while with my newly acquired clown loaches. It's amazing how much the other fish are thriving without him in there! Once I get my 400ltr up and running in another couple of months, I will put them all back in together and I am hoping the bigger tank will mean less bossing about!
