Hello,
I have conflicting statements from my research, so I go straight to the source.
Can aggressive fish co-exist with other aggressive fish?
We’re supposed to keep meek fish with other meek fish, and that’s intuitive.
Peaceful fish will get bullied by aggressive. However with semi-aggressive fish, you have to have at least semi-aggressive tank mates so they don’t become bullied right?
Can we put aggressive fish together humanely? Can we keep them alive as well?
Say we make an “aggressive” themed reef. Maroons, Domino Damselfish, etc. Would those fish eventually form a pecking order, or would they just fight to the death?
Has anyone attempted something like this?
All resources online are very surface level, “Keep this fish with peaceful tank mates, it’s subject to bullying.” Or “keep this fish with more aggressive tank-mates so it doesn’t bully them.”
Thanks!
