Fish Crazy
If you read my "Tell me if this isn't stupid" post you would know the story. But I will post it here again anyway.
My family got this 30 gallon tank for putting in fish that everyone wants. We did all the water level checks and everything was good. So I put my only angelfish from my ten gallon in, and one of my sisters put in her 3 danios from her ten gallon. My dad thinks the sister who put the danios in tank is over crowding. So what does he do? Puts two gouramis in the tank. Now, I tell my dad the gouramis and angel wouldn't get along. And because my angel was part of the current community you can't add them. But my dad, thinking he knew all about fish (He can't even sex live barers) does it anyway. Well, as I and you probably guess my angel starts nipping at the both of them. Mostly during feeding, but he was still nipping. So now my other two sisters wana add fish. They go out, and what do they buy? An angel, 1/4 the size of mine. I warned my sisters and my dad that the angels wouldn't get along. And that chances are my big angel is gonna really hurt the little one. But my sister's reply is "You have a tank! I don't I am gonna add the fish" and my dad said "They will pair off" (This from a man who kept fish 20 years ago, for 4 years and can barely remember to turn the stove off). I told him the angel my sister wanted was too small and they won't pair until it is bigger. So they get it anyway (Because they don't listen to my advice) And guess what happens? The big angel doesn't let the little angel swim up from behind the plants. When he does, the big angel chases him down.
Right now he is in a breeder net so he is seperated from the other fish. How do you "teach" an agro fish to not be nasty?
