ok... a bit of a update esp to those ppl w/ the same problem. o...blu meanie. where do i start? With plants in the tank and rock/wood placed so his eye line is broken has helped AOT! Hes not nearly as bad as he was at the start but he still chases and nips and doesnt "school up" w/the ohers. I must admit i took him back to my lfs but went back the nxt day cuz i missed him. Im toying w/ the idea of leavin him in that tank wen i get my new 1 *****sssoooooo excited bout that! but yea hes not so bad that im not stresing watchng him anymore....boy has he grown though.
