Please refresh my memory, how old is your tank?
As far as the fish, it is common that a fish in an established system will be territorial when a new fish is introduced; there isn't a whole lot you can do. Feed the fish, turn out the lights and see what happens tomorrow. Regards, Scott Z. |

What kind of water is your lfs selling you? Is it RO/DI or straight from the sink? If it is RO/DI ask when the last time he changed his filters was. If you are getting diatoms after every water change , my guess would be you are importing something in with the water.

For your aggressive fish:
Get a small in-tank refugium and stick your aggressive guy in there for a few days. You can find a pretty cheap, but good quality in tank refugium at www.amekaaquatics.com |

Thanks for you help guys, I acutally did what scott said and just put some food in there, turned off the lights and hoped for the best, everyone is getting along great now, i re-arranged the tank lastnight, put some rock figures in and new gravel, it looks great, and the fish are happy, im just hoping it doesnt turn brown in 3 days again, if so I will be back LOL Mela |
