females fighting?
ok well hmm, my brother just came round and said to me, is that fish dead?
well i was looking, and she was still moving, but is lying on the bottom, somtimes upside down, her fins are a bit battered and im compleatly lost as too why, the three females have been living together for a while now, no problems....
but there was one who did seem to be attacking her just as i noticed.
Well iv divided the small tank i have one in, and dropped her in there.
Only have about 2 and a half G each, but there babies so its not too bad, trouble is i have no more tanks so i need her to go back in with the females! lol
what could of caused this? It wasnt even the biggest female who seemed to be the aggresive one....

Re: females fighting?
it's mostly the ones that are lower in the pecking order that fight , the bigger more dominant ones dont - how many females are in together hun
before you reintroduce her you need to remove all females together for an hour - rearrange the tank then add them all back at the same time
Cause could be anything - has anything changed in the tank at all ? added any new girls in the last 2 weeks ?

Re: females fighting?
nothing has changed...
there are 3, there all still young, sister's.
there one a fair bit bigger, then these two who i think were fighting, they look identical, the one who seems hurt is probally a tiny bit smaller though.
I hope she will recover, she at the top now, resting against the fake rock background. At least she's on her own now, im going to leave her out and let her fins grow back, its just they dont have as much room as i like now iv had to seperate her.
Looking abit tatty

Re: females fighting?
you need more than 3 girls Craig thats the problem - or a larger tank - 3 girls on there own need a lot of space to set up individual territorys
If you can get 3 more girls and go for a larger sorority then that would be better if not seperate the girls - tubs would be fine

Re: females fighting?

i have ther emother in there with them, but divided, there all ALOT smaller, so i dont feel comftable, dispite her seeming ok the last time i tried.
Same thing would happen if i was looking to buy females, there still small, i dobt id find any small enought to go in.

Re: females fighting?
oh, the three were in a 16 gallon tank, the mum has about a third of that to her self. so about 10 galons id say.
Re: females fighting?
so sorry hun - keep the other 2 seperate if you can - aggression between females in groups of less than 4
