Miss Helena 0 Posted January 29, 2018 Hi all, I originally visited this wonderful forum about 10 years ago and I have just reentered the hobby. I'm in the process of setting up a new 4ft tank with a Sunsun canister filter etc, whilst I have my three new fancies in quarantine. They are two tiny juvenile red cap orandas and a slightly larger gold and black telescope. Their quarantine container is 70 litres and I'm doing 80% daily water changes with Prime. They appear to be doing great, are very energetic and eating well. One concern that I have though, is there is lots of chasing going on around meal times, with the pecking order by size. The largest and second largest also get into little "rumbles" pushing each other around in a circle. They all appear to get along fine at other times. I've kept fancies a few times before and have never witnessed this behaviour. Is it just establishing dominance? Should it stop when they are in their proper, large tank? Thanks in advance and I'm so happy to be part of this great website! Helen 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aussieJJDude 122 Posted January 31, 2018 Its probably just a dominance thing, I personally wouldn't worry too much - as long as everyone is eating, and fine after then I wouldn't stress. Maybe consider feeding each fish individually so there is no problems?Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
