help with long finned rosy barbs?

Manafel · 09-05-2011, 10:34 PM

I bought 3 long finned rosy barbs when I started my tank a few months ago. About a week or so one of them died. Now I have only 2 in the tank and one keeps chasing and bullying the other whenever it sees the other. I didn't have this problem with the aggression until recently and the one getting picked on is looking pretty ragged. Will it stop if I get another terra to make 3 again since they are supposed to be schooling fish?

How big is your tank? If big enough I would add 3 more.

For now I have a 20 gal but I plan on upgrading in a month or so to a 75 gal so they won't be overcrowded
