You are all sick bastards. :D

Only in ATOT will people think "How do I beat my fish?" means anything other than asking how to beat fish.

I have decided on ripping the fins off of the perpetrator one by one until he learns some discipline.

I just gave him a time out in the betta tank. Muad'Dib taught him a lesson, and he is being much nicer now. :D

I hope not to have to do it again.

Hence my equation above demonstrating the final theory of composite dynamics. :p

Wow, my swordtail really has it out for the new fishy in the tank (Iridescent shark). Keeps nibbling on him.

Will they get used to each other or will I wake up and see bodies?

Do you really think the fish remembered about the time out? Fish don't really have too long of an attention span

He was good for a bit, but doesnt seem like it anymore. Its like a warzone in there again.

You want to beat your fish?! Oy!

You can't discipline household fish. It's your responsibility to provide them with their needs, enough room to live, and make sure of their compatibility.

Please tell me you were joking. :confused:

Geez, I thought it was pretty obvious. Of course I'm joking. Although I do want two of them to stop being such bastards, but unfortunately getting a new tank is out of the question.

It doesn't look like there's a whole lot you can do. It's not like you can give your fish a stern warning and then he'll be all better. Either you deal with it, or get rid of the bully or get rid of your other fish. or just eat them all

Sorry, I've had a rough day (major (to me anyway, I was scared) reaction to a household chemical, my brain must still be suffering from a slight lack of oxygen, heh).

As far as getting the fish to get along goes, I think you're pretty much out of luck. I'd suggest trying to find a new home for the one that can't seem to get along. Do you have any friends/family who'd be willing to take it? Other than that, I don't know what to suggest.
