Hi all,
Just recently bought myself a royal whiptail, he's beautiful. Put him in my community tank to wake up the next morning to his top fins being ripped . I thought it may have been my cherry barbs, so i moved them to another tank, but his fins simply got worse! I have three siamese girls but they are ordinarily really peaceful. Ive had siamese females for years now, and the three i have now are the most peaceful ive ever had! None of my other fish (cory's, pictus, bristlenose, glass fish) have ever had their fins attacked, so i just dont understand why my whiptail would suddenly be a problem to the other fish!
Anyone know if this will continue? I moved him out of my community tank and he's now all by himself in my bristlenose breeding tank, but i dont like him being by himself. Is the picking liable to stop when he gets a bit bigger? Or should i just leave him separate and maybe get another one to keep him company?
