Hi all
Nearly two months ago I moved my fish into a bigger tank (50g) at which point my grumpy blue gourami went into nervous breakdown mode and hid for ages in the artificial rock that was home for my clown loach. This was ok for a while and as the plants have grown up he is going out more but despite putting in other hiding places, neither he or the loach will move out!
They are now both getting quite territorial about this rock and starting (I think) to fight over who lives in it :wall: Today i got home to find the gourami has a big tear in his top fin so I think they are fighting
The loach tends to live in the roof area of the rock ... I wondered would it be OK to put air in that space which won't bother the gourami (in fact I guess he might like it?!) but might get the loach to move to one of the other hiding places
The only other thing I can think of doing is to take this rock out altogether ... I have already tried moving it but they both moved with it!
Any thoughts would be appreciated.:help:
