ryanjury Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 What is your ratio? That sounds like normal behaviour for them, how big is the tank? If you can find out what he is using to determine his terriotory (ie what is in the middle of the tank) then you might be able to move it over slowly so that his terriotory gets smaller?

zuri08 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 hey thanks ryan the tanks 120 50 60 cm yea its normal for him to chase but but not so agressive so i will move the middle around back to open area and rocks on right /left for him.hes only about 15cm at the moment same size as my big blues etc but throws his weight around more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuri08 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 oh yea 2 female one male is the ratio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 The ratio is pretty bad for a tank that small with big nimbos they can be pretty hard on the females I have 2m 4-5f in my giraffes in a 540L tank when I breed them and the males are pretty hard on the girls.. It is just one of those things really if the females aren't getting injured and he isn't being too nasty then its ok, just keep an eye on it.
