treehugga Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Ive had these 2 albino oscars since they were 2 inches now they are 8 inches, about a month ago they started digging 2 pits and have done alot of tail slapping locking jaws etc since. Over the past week one has definately showed to be dominant. In the last 48 hours this has become a problem with the weaker one bailed up in the corner of the tank (6ft) and the stronger either standing sentry or swimming away and returning to headbutt and bite the other. Has anybody had this problem before? and did the fish go on to breed succesfully? The fish thats being picked on looks sad They have not been aggressive to one another before. any ideas would be great cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 You could try changing the layout of ornaments in the tank so the dominant one doesn't realise where his territory is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
