Ghost Knife Being Bullied!

[JasonMichael]

Hi everyone!

I've got a bit of a situation with my Ghost Knife and my Pakistani Loach! The Pakistani Loach, at least daily, is bullying my Ghost Knife, "chasing" him around the tank, it almost looks as if the Pakistani Loach is biting my Ghost Knife I had to get rid of one one of my previous Loaches (Clown Loach) as a similar thing was happening and killed my first ghost knife... any suggestions, help or advise would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

I'm afraid Pakistani loach can be very aggressive if not kept in the right numbers (6+). All you can do is get more and hope that settles it down or rehome it. There's no way of 'curing' that sort of aggressive behaviour once it's started.

Thanks Fluttermoth, do you think by even getting one more would help? Or must it be 6+?

They do best in groups because then they can spread out their quarrels between them all, rather than the same two all the time
