Hi folks me and bubbles have a real problem with our pictus catfish :wb:
For the last three days and nights our two pictus catfish have been fighting or what appears to be fighting although we cant see any visable battle scars or any marks of any kind on them they do seem very aggressive with each other its quite strange !
As alot of you will know we got these fish or you might say rescued them when they were brought to us by a friend of ours that saved them from certain death on a front garden ! so we know nothing about them, we dont know how old they are, how big the tank they came from was, we know they shared their last home with two large clown loaches (we rescued them too) but we dont know if there were any other fish in with them :huh:
Since we got these fish in may they have been fine with each other, we have recently put them in their own tank to give them more space and to give them the best possible diet without worrying about their tank mates getting bloat (our bristlenose was in the same tank) and they were fine for about three weeks in their own tank but over the last three days they are getting more and more aggressive with each other and we are worried that one might seriously hurt or maybe even kill the other
Does anyone have any experiance of this happening with pictus if so any advice would be greatly welcomed.
I think if we dont do something quickly that i may have to rehome them at our local aquatic centre before we have a tragedy
Many thanks Chris
