SWORDTAIL PROBLEM!!!!!

[SConrad]

i just got a pair of swordtails yesterday, the male was picked on a littlle bit by other fish and ithought it was because he was a newcomer..........i have a video of how hes acting but i dont know how to post it!!! PLEASE TELL ME HOW!!!

I wish I could help you post the video, I would be keen to see it.

If the fish is being picked on it should soon settle down....its just the other fishes way of letting the newcomer know who is the boss of the tank!!

Was it a pair of swords in a tank full of other fish??
If so he probly felt vulnerable to predators. Swords are schooling fish, having only two creates a lot of stress for them.
Good luck w/ the other
