 | divided tanks? |
bettachris     Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004   | is there any mental factor within the fish, if the tank is divided, and there is an aggreesive fish on one side, and there are other less agressives on the other. would the others still be scared? the fishes in questions are cichlids. |

monkeyboy  Fish Addict Posts: 521 Kudos: 375 Votes: 223 Registered: 10-Apr-2005 | my betta tank is divided like this, and 3 of my 5 bettas are highly agressive, and lucky me, the 2 peacefull ones are in between the 3 fighters, so they just stay away from the divides. Fish tanks are an expensive addiction |
