Hi my pair of green terrors have recently been introduced with two smaller jacks and my terrors just stopped eating and before when i used to walk past they used to try and jump out to get me but now they just sob up the back behind the filter, they have no external injuries and theyre fins are longer than ever can someone please help me with these jealous things.

p.s preferably people who have kept terrors before please lol

Cheers

well sometimes its the luck of the draw,ive kept both of the above fish with succsess and without it,gts and jds both are fish that can be nasty when they want,at first all was well untill they started growing,then so did there eyes for territory,then the fighting started,anyway try moving some of your tank decore around,this does help,and try to get some caves going too,more caves than fish if possible,what size tank are these guys in?

great ,glad to be able to help,and watch that texas,if you think gts and jds are nasty,wait untill your texas settles in they can be ruthless,even more so when they are breeding,but,with some time and patience,that combo of fish can work,ive done it myself,you mite just get some problems later on when they start to get BIG.but good luck.oh and when dealing with these sorts of fish,dividers are a great thing to have handy,if the agression,gets bad,and it can man
