glass fish

[caz27]

I got a problem with my glass fish....he keeps picking on my guppies are glass fish territorial?

No theyre not terratorial,theyre predatory,they are a member of the perch family and he sees your guppies as food he just isnt big enough to eat them yet.

BTW if that is your glass fish in your avatar do you realise thats its a artificially died fish?
If that is the one you wont have any worries about it actually getting big enough to eat the guppies as almost all dyed fish die early from cancer caused by the colouring which is injected into them.

yes i they are als ocalled disco fish if you have got one then you might not want to buy more but for the ones you have they will sometimes get agressive if there is some way to seperate them it would help say a divider or a seperate tank. both are comunity fish so i would have thaught they where not terratorial tho if they are then perhaps breaking up the aria with plants and orniments that would obstruct the veiws of the fish and offer cover for the guppys. how big is the tank?

I have a 3ft tank and when i bought the tank that fish came with it i did research about it and i know they inject them (which i think is nasty) but i felt sorry for him and went to my fish shop to buy some glass fish but they had none so i got 3 guppies.....he was ok with them but now he is being a bullie ...he makes a point of going to them and chasing them
