Trouble with me Draughty!!

firecop951 · Mar 9, 2016

had a Draughty in my tank for the past week and a half. Introduced a new one to the tank. The new fish will not stop going after the original. They are locked at the mouth and will not stop fighting. Is this normal, do I need to try and remove one. Please help

What's a Draughty?

See stupid spell check

LOL!! Spell check is always good for a laugh!

So, as I understand it, you now have two dottybacks in the same tank?

I do. Had one for the past week and just introduced the new one today. LFS said it was cool. Not so cool. They r no longer fighting. Blenny has put them in check but the original is hiding now and the new one is out and about!!!

Yeah, it's not a good idea to have two dottybacks in the same tank. One is bound to kill the other. They can be pretty aggressive even to other fish, but especially to each other and other fish that have the same coloring and body type. I would suggest you remove the new one and take him back to the LFS. I'd probably give a good glare at the person who told you it was ok too..... though that's just me.
