Bully Blue ram

[leafs]

I purchased a beautiful German Blue ram a couple of weeks ago. I seems very health, but he is very aggressive towards my Lemon Tetras. I also purchased another Blue ram and he gets picked on too. Doe's anyone know if this kind of behaviour will stop over time? I don't want my fish stressed out.

Thanks

Cichlids will be cichlids All you can do is add more hiding places, or rearange the tank decor. The bully ram has established the tank to be "his", and therefore he wants to keep other fish out. If you rearange the tank, it will seem like a different place to the bully ram, so both of the rams have a chance to stake out parts of the tank for themselves as opposed to one taking over and claiming the entire tank as his own (like your bully has already done). Good luck

Thanks! I'll try changing it around a bit. Then they can each claim their own territory. Makes sense.
