Its because by adding the fish to the tank upset the pecking order, which in truth is great, it spreads the stress in the tank and not allow it to be one on one.Yes there are plenty of hiding spots and it seems like "safe spots" where the chasing stops, and its not relentless. I was just curious on what people usually see. One interesting thing which I have never seen before is he even seems to be chasing fish that he wouldn't normally chase (not very often however, but still interesting), almost as if to reassert dominance over the tank.
I have a 100g DT so in my tank that would be about every 10 seconds hahaReally depends on the fish.
I've had some where one chase was enough, and others that still chase whenever a certain fish gets within their eye sight.
I currently have a melagris leopard, and a moyers leopard. Everything says they should get along fine. 6 months now, and my melagris still chases the moyers whenever the moyers gets within eye sight.
I figured this was it, and like you said, it is nice that it keeps the new fish from being the only targetIts because by adding the fish to the tank upset the pecking order, which in truth is great, it spreads the stress in the tank and not allow it to be one on one.
