Eye Bitten Out!

[Oddsoxdi]

Good morning,
Newbie me, with 20 gal long tank with skirted tetras, blood fins, honey gouramis, and an otoclinus. I also had two neons, but discovered that somefish had bitten one of the neon's eys off. WHY do fish do this?! How can I stop such antisocial behavior?? Thanks

well fish bite eyes out because their not totally stupid, could you swim with no eyes, triggers are infamous for doing that, but maybe you could try re-aranging the decorations so they have to settle new terrotory or changing fish food to make them not thirst for blood ive read those but have no idea if it really works or not because it sounds like bull to me so i never tried it
