Billaney Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I was given a male bristlenose which after a spell in the Q Tank i put in the 200L tonight along with about 6 others, mixed male and female and he's fighting with the biggest male that was already in there. My question is are they just setting a pecking order and will they settle ? is this normal ? or should i remove him to stop one killing the other ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 My males fight, but nothing serious and they don't do damage. They usually just fight over food. I have at least 6 in my tank too (probably more) of mixed sexes though more males than females. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
