Why Is This?

[captinboomer23]

Hi to all,

Ive got a vision 450 set-up [well planted, rocks, caves ect.] THE FISH:

3 BALA SHARKS
1 RBS
1 KRIB
1 ANGEL
5 CHERRY BARBS [my fav]
2 RUSTY PLECS
3 BLOOD HEARTS
1 CRAYFISH

What happend this morning made me rub my eyes a good 3 times, Well let me give you alittle info, My RBS when little was very peaceful [as they a are when young], As he grew up he became very grumpy to the 3 bala sharks , He's fine with all the other fish its just the balas, Anytime they go to close he would chase them. Anyway when i went into the room with tank in this morning the RBS is actully swimming with them and wont leave them alone [as in just siting just by the side of them, not rubbing, or biting] And for the last hour he keeps following them everywhere.

So why is it that for about the last 3 months hes hated them but now wont leave alone

Has this happend to anyone else?

thanks

I'm not sure why its happened but I suppose they are both species of shark

RTBS don't like similar-looking fish and he/she is becoming quite frustrated with them being there. OR, perhaps he/she is developing a liking to them (though they are not closely related and, therefore, I find this unlikely to be the case). Don't count on it remaining friendly...
