Aggressive fish

[jackiedolly]

Hi can anyone give me some advise on my aggressive Celebe. Up to this week I had 3 celebes, 2 femails and 1 male. I have had them from babies but recently the male has been very aggressive to the females, chasing them around with all his fins up. Sadly over the last 2 days I have lost both females with no outward signs of what was wrong. Anyway rhe male is now chasing all the other fish in the tank. What can I do to stop him apart from removing him and I dont want him upset the other tank I have which is smaller. Even if I was to buy more celebes they would be tiny and he is about 2 inches long.

Hi,

I think maybe you should think about getting rid of the aggressive male?? If he's chasing all of the other fish in the tank they are going to become really stressed and stress can bring on diseases.

Sorry to hear about your fish loses!!

Good LucK!!

devide him off in the same aquarium perspecs with holes for now . may even knock the bossynes out of him ...works for a lot of fish can break dominant territoril behavior .
