U might jus try this ...

Create more hidding place and relocated ur DW. I wouldnt said it 100% help, it will take sometimes till they become gd friend

Bro, does rearranging the whole tank drift woods setup prior to adding a new fish minimise the problem of new fish being bullied?

Personal experience it helps abit. You can try and see the result ... of course depending how much DW u have.

If you happen to try, please let me know whether it work for u or not ...
again ... I would say is case to case

It apply to mi as well. Whenever I have new Pleco I will rearrange my dw. After they are use to one another I will arrange to the pattern I like.

I would not suggest that as the hierarchy is established, once the shifting of DW would cause them to established a new hierarchy among themselves. Thus they bound to fight for the alpha position or the best hideout.

The fight, among these species, will stop once a new alpha is found. The loser will have to fight for his place again when the time is right. That is more likely for same species. If a comm of different species, likely is that the biggest in size wins and they tend not to disturb the smaller ones as they believe that they are not a threat to them, unless its someone of similar sizes.

Thats my optinion.
