Introducing new fish

[birtyboy10]

Hi

I currently have a tank with four juvie's in for about a week and there has been some natural bullying and the pecking order has been established!

I would like to know the best method to use to introduce four more juvie's at the end of the month, because i am worried if i just simply add them to the current set-up they will be bullied/wont eat and wont settle down.

The fish will be fully quarenteened and wormed before adding

Regards

Steve

you will have to let them establish that for themselves. There aren't any guarantees

Hmm. won't moving the decor help the situation tho?

Only if there is a real serious aggression problem, and even so that may not work or may be short lived. We don't have any real control over how fish establish themselves within a community. Generally there is always one on the low end that will catch the brunt

I suppose you are right jennie! a group of eight is going to level out the aggression more anyway
