Hi,
I have a 125 litre fluval Roma and recently bought a siamese flying fox. My tank is community and he is becoming a bit of a nuiscance with being aggressive to everything in the tank. I have a few rocks at the bottom of the tank with a few crevices which he hides in, he will wait for a fish to swim past and chase them off around the tank. I think its stressing them out, I have two angels and he is a particular pest to them trying to fin nip there tentacle things (sorry for my appalling description).
Anything from the 5 neons to the 2 angels he has a go at. The only thing he ignores is the dwarf frogs and the bumble bee gobies, but to any other fish he will chase.
I was informed by the shop keeper that he was none aggressive as it was a bit of an impulse buy but this is a few months on now as I thought he may just be a dominance thing being new to the tank.
I was suspect to him killing my ancistrus as he used to stay around the crevices at the bottom also, but not sure.
Im willing to give him up but would rather avoid it, any advice? Or will I have to give him up.
Thanks
