boydie Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 hey all, i purchased 4 gold comps on tthe weekend,they are 3 to 4 cm long,2 larger ones and two smaller ones. the problem ive got is, one of the larger ones does not like the larger fish, obviously the other is more dominant. i have removed the fish that is getting bullied into a hospital tank.it seems ok but quite dark in colour. i would like too eventually put it back with the others,should i grab another couple of fish to balance out the ratio of maybe males and females???? they are in a 3 ft tank,with a bit of structure,but not alot of hidy holes,should i add more structure and more fish to get an even balance. what are your thoughts cheers boydie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albie Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I've bread plenty of them,you are probably better off creating two or more hiding places,rocks,shells or whatever,so they can have their own territories.Just make sure they are as far as possible to eachother. No matter what you do,they always seem to fight amongst themselves,they won't kill eachother though. You can buy more, but i doubt if you solve your problem.Hope this helps.Also make sure they are housed in at least a 3 footer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I think that you may need more structure - rocks , shells , pots or pipes but you don't say what you do have in the tank and leave the fish to sort a social structure The other thing would be to add a few more comps of a similar size if there was 2 larger and 2 smaller it should be 2 pair but still a bit small yet to produce anything Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
