Nandopsis Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I have 4 of these suckers in a 20g long tank with plenty of hiding spots, but they are fighting like crazy! lip locking and shooting around the tank after each other like little pit-bulls. I've tried adding more hiding spots moving them around and they still fight over the same one. They are too small to use a eggcrate divider and i don't have any mesh to cover over the eggcrate. The only other spot i have is in with the larger grammodes and i don't want to scoop the Odos out tomorrow... :shock: So...any suggestions?

FishGeek Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 wow...that's pretty mean for that small. Shame you can't use egg crate. Maybe since they are so small, some zebra danios would help, Giant danios if not. Otherwise, i'd just say to put more visual obstructions in the tank. Maybe put one grammodes in the tank to hold the dominant spot, keeping the haitiensis from jousting for dominance.

Nandopsis Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I was actualy going to buy some Danios to use as a target fish. *Thanks* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nandopsis Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Well they didn't even notice the danios. Infact i think it made it worse. Any more ideas? I also tried 4 in with the grammodes. Lets just say i didn't have time to save the danios! :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklehead Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I hope to pick up my haits this weekend My biggest male grammodes is a monster, literally 5 times bigger than his siblings, he's taken out 2 silver dollars and 3 leftover labiatus, really wish I ordered these guys years ago.

Nandopsis Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Ya no kidding they realy are fun to watch. The Odos seem to be even more agro. Based on the amount of agression shown at such a small size. Hey if you ever want to get rid of any more grammodes i'll take them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
