What does one do with a bully? I had 5 redeye tetras and 9 serpaes in my community tank. It seems one of the redeyes got himself booted out of the tank! Then there were 4. Now one of the 4 is hiding all the time and so are my 2 GBR's. The serpaes just chase each other as usual and seem to leave everyone else alone . . . I should probably get 2 or 3 more redeyes? I am toying with the idea of giving some of the serpaes to a friend who would like them as I don't see any way to catch all the redeyes, especially the one hiding . . .

depending on the size of the tank, you could but up the redeyes to 8. without getting rid of any other fish.

If you think its bullying change the tank layout, or remove the bully fish for a few hours and put him back in. This has worked for me before
