20ish gallon tank with a pair of small red zebras and a pair of small demasonis.
All fish were bought at the same time, about two weeks ago. Since then one Demasoni has gotten noticibly bigger and healthier... he (assuming hes the male) will not let any of the other fish near the rockwork... his female is almost dead, fins ripped up etc, and the red zebras get chased around by him too, but not as much. I know of at least one fry in the tank, and I assume the demasoni is guarding it.
I know the tank is small, but I thought I could get away with this size tank for a while at least. I have a fry net thingy that I can hang into the tank and put the aggressive fish in for a while, until he calms down or the others recover and set up territories... good idea? What should I do?
