    I have a smaller tank and I fixed the problem in about 15 minutes LOL. I took the back of my net (handle) and every time my powder blue gourami chased my other dwarf gourami, I got right in between him and told him who's boss. It worked like a charm. (No fish were harmed, I just got in between and made the powder blue boy back up away into my version of a time out corner). My neon dwarf gourami is thriving and they're best buddies again! YAY! edit* Returning one of my babies is not an option for me, I love them too much. Plus, they were getting along great until earlier tonight.

    I've done this for 40 years, and it almost invariably works. The few times it hasn't worked, it's because the species was just in tirely too aggressive for the new species. In other words, if it doesn't work, it's the Aquarist's fault for miscalculating. That being said, green Severum are truly butts on occasion! He may need a few days in the Oscar tank! If you don't have an Oscar tank, get one. You need it to use as a threat!

    I loved the captions. 😆 Turning the lights off, rearranging the decor and then leaving the lights of until the next day sometimes works because nobody has any territory so the previously subordinate fish has more confidence. I'm sorry you had to give him back but it was for the best, and on the bright side, you now have room for a new fish! 😁 My tank swap went much more smoothly than I anticipated, and my fish are being babysat by the lovely staff at my local Maidenhead Aquatics til the new one cycles. I'm using the cycling time to shop for new plants and think about all the lovely fish that are going to enjoy the extra space. 😊

    I got a opaline gourami that is a male who likes chasing the other gouramis in the tank. It is 75 gallons and has a good amount of plants. He is about 7 years old and had added the 4 new ones recently since he and the other two I had/have are getting up in age. Had two large kissing gouramis that he would often chase. One passed and the other one is still alive but has gotten sick but it recovering thankfully. The tank had been empty except for those three for awhile so I wonder if he is just breaking the ice with the new companions and such.

    I have an extremely murderous penguin tetra (all information I found said they were peaceful!) who has killed something like 9 of his fellow tetras, and 2 otocinclus, by biting their fins and tails off. I tried everything - bigger tank, more plants, rearranged plants to break up sight lines, floating plants, and eventually got some active yoyo loaches to catch the tetras attention and stop him from picking on his own school so much. Eventually with a 4 foot tank, 6 yoyos and a school size whittled down to only 7 tetra, the murders have finally stopped. I'm glad it all settled down because I didn't want to get rid of this fish, he was a rescue from someone's filthy dirty turtle tank and had been intended as turtle food so I've always wanted to give him a better life than that. I know I can't have any other fish that live at the top level of the tank, that have a dark lateral stripe (like the otos) or are torpedo shaped (like a zebra danio) because that is when the worst trouble starts.

    I’ve got a Molly tank and my oldest fish has recently been doing less good. I was watching my fish after feeding and saw my male red Dalmatian sailfin molly full on attacking, ramming and biting my old fish. All these fish have gotten along for about seen months now and I have no idea what caused this sudden spike in aggression between these two. I recently redone my entire tank and don’t know if this may cause it due to stress, or maybe breeding. I love my fish and can’t bear to see them die, and I don’t know what to do because the sailfin compared to the old, black molly, is very big. I don’t know what to do.

    My goldfish have been together for 4 years and they seem to be chased by the bigger one ever since being in a new tank, I've found that an hour of time out for the bigger bully every large water change tends to help him out. Sadly I have to do it every time I deep clean the tank. But it seems to work even if it just an hour. This may be because they are goldfish or mating season( I've never known the gender of my fish but I'm assuming they have different ones idk). But yeah, quarantine or time out for an hour or two seems to work. I don't have a breeder box but I think I'll get one after this as I'm tired of getting a bucket and attempt to have it stay still in the tank. Great video, I'm glad to have come across it ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧

    My goldfish did the same, and i found my culprit. It was the splashing(is that wat i should call it?) sound of water going into my tank from a tube about 4 to 5 inches above the tank water surface. It got so aggresive, it chase any fish in sight. And my other fish develop fin rot. Remove the tube, no more sound and the goldfish calms down. No aggresion after that Today, i switched one of my powerhead down (the one that pump air bubbles), after some while, all three of my goldfish started acting differently. I put my hand on top of the tank, look like i am gonna feed them. Surprisingly, they didnt come for food, instead, 3 of them would move around very quickly (add some aggresion into it), bumping into things. Put the powerhead back on, everything went back to normal. Its very interesting to see them react to changes

    Both my red spotted and golden severum kept doing that to my green one. They are all around the size of a small coffee cup saucer... i got them all around the same time (they are about a year old) so, I took the two bullies out and put them both in a small 10 gallon tank until i decide what to do. I know, it is a small tank. I'm doing it temporarily. They are generally in a 40 gallon tank. The green severum is peaceful.. the other two are a bit mean. If i have to choose, i will surrender the two quarantined ones to a local pet shop, but gonna try to see if I can make it work.... I certainly hope I dont have to let them go.

    Please help!! I bought 2 glofish tetras about a week ago for my 5 gallon glofish tank. (Yes I'm aware I need to invest in a BIGGER tank). The bigger tetra has bullied the smaller one so badly that it sits in a corner for most of the time. Even when eating time it chases it away. I re-arranged the plants, even took a few out so it wouldn't be overcrowded and nothing worked. I went to my local pet store where I was suggested to get 3 zebra fish to break up the fights, it didn't work. He still chases the other tetra around but doesn't chase after the zebra fish. How do I help my bullied fish?

    I've been dealing with an aggressive White Cloud lately. They're normally peaceful but this guy attacks everything. I've tried moving the feeding areas and putting him in timeout for 2 weeks. Nothing seems to work. I'd like to give him his own tank, since that's what he seems to want, but they are schooling fish so I'll probably have to take him back to the store.

    We initially bought a couple of platys to begin with. Our female delivered babies back to back three times now one. We would often seperate the male at random times throughout the pregnancy to allow her to rest because he would just harass her endlessly and we did not want her to be stressed or over exert herself. We recently noticed our female was not eating and in fact missing her top lip 🥴😭😭😭😭 he has been in time out for four days now but we believe returning him will be our best option moving forward. We want to retire our female and see her enjoy a comfortable life (hopefully) moving forward. Unfortunately we have decided its best without him.

I ended up putting my betta in a zip lock bag after I notice him chasing my Molly's around for about an hour thought he would stop until he ended up catching one so I Drew the line and he got time out. The zip lock bag had little air holes and was floating around the top with him in it for about an hour., when I let him out he just chilled out and actually just got along with them

    Adding a territorial cichlid species to a tank first will allow the fish to establish it’s territory. The low stocking of open water species will only encourage the territorial behaviour unfortunately! Better off adding all territorial fish at the same time or added several at once. Dithers would also have helped in most cases.
