Answers:
You did not specify what size tank you own or what kind of fish you hold, so I can only guess at the make happen.
Sometimes, with livebearers (guppies, platies, mollies, etc) the males will follow and pester the females, pecking at their bellies. If this is the armour, get some more womanly to dillute this behaviour.
Otherwise, it may be a dominance entry. The bullied fish is the lower one in the cuff and he is being picked on. Get a few more of them, smaller ones, to dillute the aggression.
Look into what size container your fish need. A frequent lead to for aggression is a lack of container size. All fish need a indubitable amount of room but some fish (gouramis and cichlids, for example) are really fussy about their territory, and if they don't have satisfactory to share, they will fish over their neighbour's territory.
Put it into a seperate container
yar put it in the frying tub
Nope - from experience it is not going to stop - seperate them somehow.
Or stop feeding the other 3 and nurture only the bullied one till it's big and strong and can conflict back...
adjectives you can do to stop it are seperate them because my brother's fish, he had 4, adjectives died because one of the fish was bullying them.
so if you want them to live seperate them or a short time ago kill the bully
nurture the three fishes to the cat.
Some tropical fish are aggressive, some are not. See someone at an aquatics store for advice give or take a few which fish work well within community with which others.
move the one fish to another aquarium
or put another divider contained by yours
Have the other three grilled with a cheese sauce on the top.
vote the other three fish rotten one by one ;)
The only passageway to stop that would be to either put them within separate
tanks or giving one away.
Poke the bullies next to a stick...Give them a taste of their own tablets...That will teach them.
try rearrange the decor they will be more intent trying to find new territory than fighting
The bullies could be males trying to mate beside the victim. Fish are tremendously aggressive when they're at it. If so, it won't last long.
Look out for eggs (especially on the plants) and measure them out into a separate container or the bullies will eat them adjectives up...
You either inevitability to get rid of the bully fish or the fish explicitly being picked on. I enjoy never been competent to resolve this problem when it occurs. You're local fish store should pocket the fish back lacking any problems and let you exchange it for something else or furnish you a credit.
OT
P.S. Poke it with a stick. :^) Funny, but not a accurate idea.
Afrowoman... that's the best answer... a scream.
separate tank
You could try re-arranging your cistern, to try and break it up, it may work - has never worked for me thou, and the bulliying merely got worse, so i give to a friend or you could take it rear to the fish shop and they might take it for you.
they would'nt be call jade, jo and daniell by any chance?
I know ancestors are not going to agree with me
but when i enjoy had this problem i enjoy put the bully in a web breeding trap for a few hours if it still bully's do it again for a day or two after usually it stops bullying it tends to be timid
I solely do this as a last resort its better than a moment ago getting rid of the fish
