Brianemone Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 hey i've noticed from some peoples tanks and now more in my brother's, that chromis tend to be bullies. at the moment he only has two and i think this my be part of the problem, does any one have a suggestion of what to do to stop the dominant behaviour? (rearranging the tank seems abit pointless for a marine tank as it will only start up again) maybe get more or look for different fish? any help would be cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I would look for other fish, I find they are a pain always hungry thats why I tend to over feed my tank, and thats why they could be bullies. I started with nine and have five remaining four really healthy and one that gets picked on and hides. I also notice that they dont get it all there own way my Clark boy Clown keeps them in check. Ive cut down on my feeding so they will have to adjust, I feed with a fine net, tonight I pulled it out to go down the other end and one was is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petplanet Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 They are bullies if there are only a few. You need more of them so they will school up or at least have more fish to pick on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
