Anyone Ever Had An Agressive Bristlenose?

[CandyCoated100]

My bristlenose keeps chasing my upside-down catfish and its really starting to wind me up im thinking its because ive taken out all the wood for a re-scape aha arghh... 1 more thing as ive asked before but never really got an answer i have an Angelfish (Quite big but not adult) in a 40 gal Hex and im wondering whether or not adding another angel would be a good idea?

My BN is very aggressive, doesnt like anybody, will chase and jump on any other fish in his area or trying to get his food. Its quite common for them to be aggressive I believe.

yeah same here, mine is qute aggressive. Thrashing its tail around.

with angels, i wouldnt put another in, your tank isnt massive and if its peaceful now, keep it like it is, adding another could cause hell to break lose! They really need large tanks to be properly happy.
Here's TGM's large 10ft tank

And the great takashi amano's altum angel tank.

i know these are extremes, but angels like to be in groups and in a large tank where they can properly swin and be admired. People think because of thier shape they arent that active and dont swim to much. Wrong!

bloody ell what a tank, i have an angel and they are quite big, should we plant less then so they have more room, di

well no, but on your average home aquarium you have to be mindful of the space plants do take up. (and all decor for that matter)

but amano's tank is so huge it really doesnt matter.

 

[razer121]

[Nick16]

Oh yeah that guy has started a whole differant way of decorating a tank. His thing it to make a a tank look like a land scape out of real life. Things like mountains, forest, and much more. Look up some of his other stuff it will blow your mind. It realy is art.
