My First Comm

Initiately when I put them together, they seem to be ok , swimming side by side happily. After after a while, the big aro keep attaching the two small aro which resulted my RTG and green , scale keep dropping. As i did not want to give up at the point of time, I switch off all the lights for the tank and become total darkness. and I realised that aggreesiveness is not so worst. But once a which I still can hear the water trembling sound, tat means tat the big aro still attackinging the two small aro.

So on sat morning, this two aros had been removed and put one side and deside to bring back to office for the third comm. One gold with 3 silver and one RTG. Hope it will works with more aros in a tank.

Here are a few things you might consider trying to get ur comm tank to work. 1) Get more aros around the same size. Might consider some silvers because they grow quite fast and are also less aggressive.. (supposedly anyway)
2) Adding something to create a force in the water.. powerhead.. wave generator.. a strong water flow to reduce tension and also distract them.
3) Adding other tank mates.. Fast moving ones.. such as tin foil barbs..

Bad new, RTG send in ICu, need to quarantine b4 kanna whacked to dead, now left with 3 silver and the gold.....

alrady put in a powerhead, and some plant to take cover, all together is 5 aros in tank, one 13" and the rst abt 8 - 9". But seem like the 13" gold always attack the RTG, now jus to quarantine the RTG liao...

Your alpha aro whack your RTG cos it pose a threat to him or who knows is your RTG who initiate the fight?

In fact this RTG is not aggresive at all(cos I been watching since the comm start) . Even it was put in together with the ST or silver, all stay in peace.

keep us update on ur new comm.

How about lights? Do the fights occur when you off the lights?

Got to second bro Aroboy II. Could it be the RTG who initiated it.
