So I have an issue, I have a community planted tank. I have 13 Golden Barbs, 3 are in the bigger size while the other 10 are much smaller. So one of the bigger Barbs has a wound mostly likely from bumping in to wood in the aquarium. However the issue I am finding is that the smaller barbs then constantly eat at the wound making the larger barb weaker and stressed.
I am going to have to take the larger Barb out and heal because if I leave it much longer I can see it only resulting in to a fatality. It's horrible to watch, question is this has happened more than once. Does anyone know why they're doing this or how to prevent it?
It's really sad and is discouraging me from keeping golden barbs full stop.
