How do I deal with aggressive fish?
I have a brackish tank with 3 monos in it and a goby. I plan to get more monos anyway but one really bullies the others. I suppose the aggression will be diluted when there are more monos to push around....Any advice? I've added two or three caves to hide as well.

hi hows it going what sex are the 3 monos ?

Justice Bucket

I actually don't know. I've been reading but haven't found a way to sex them yet.

its a teritorial thing going on what size are they ?

Justice Bucket

They're juvies, bout the size of adult tiger barbs. An inch and a half from nose to tail.

Rarely bothers the goby...and when it was freshwater, my cichlid gave him what for when the bully mono picked on the scat. I don't think there will be any actual harm though.

hopefully not ,its not nice to look at tho when there bickering at each other .some of my discis can get quiet feisty aswell.the monos can get quiet big i think about 8 r 9 inches .maybe u could get some tall plants to make a few hiding places...

That's my plan. I'm gluing some slate together as we speak.
