I’m expecting a sift in the hierarchy soon
My female electric blue acara has been well established as the tank boss for around a year now and takes the role perfectly being fairly passive and not very confrontational,
But I have severum in that tank one already larger in length and far more stocky maybe twice the mass of the eba , I know the sev is still classed as juvenile and won’t even stand its ground against the eba just swims as fast as it’s fat body will swim but I know this will change the sev is gain size each week and eventually will be twice the size of the eba , so I’m hoping to smooth the transition as much as possible, how hve people felt with a change in hierarchy that could end bad ? Or is there a possibility that the change never happens been the sev has grew from a few cm in this tank , iv grew very found of this severum and obviously my electric blue acara ha been with me a while so wouldn’t want to separate the fish
There is zero aggression currently just like to plan for the future before it starts
