[swampymc8]

Hi all
Got a rtbs and past few days has got really grumpy. It is chasing everything in tank. I no they are territoral but it wants to dominat the whole tank. Question being if i change round the rocks etc. will it calm down ? Dont want it stressing rest of fish . My other tank to small to re home it in there
Any ideas would be greatfull all other fish are peacefull untill shark starts

Thanks in advance

hi

the tank is 30x18x12 about 110l . is this to small ?

if it is to small may take it to lfs

yep for a rtbs thats a touch on the small side . 55g upwards really . they start peacefull but usually become much more aggressive/territorial as they grow/mature . imho taking it back would be wise

thanks for that
think will take it back not fair on any of the fish
shame cos i like them but dont want an unhappy tank
