Hi folks.
The good news:
The fuelleborni is back and badder than ever.
The bad news:
The fuelleborni has decided he hates the two new trewavasse I added a few weeks ago. The trewavesse OB is bigger and can take the harrasment, but the BB is not doing so well.
Thus far I have transferred the BB to the quarantine tank to rest and gain strength. But I know that as soon as I put him back in the big tank, the fuelli is going to resume attacking him.
Option A: I have considered the possibility of moving the fuelli to the quarantine/time out tank for a week or so. I did this when he was "sick" a few weeks ago; moving him back into the big tank just seemed to piss him off. Thus, I don't know how well this will work...
Option B: I won't get rid of the fuelli. He's my favorite fish. I have considered trading the trewavasse BB for something else.
Moving the furniture in the tank doesn't seem to work, nor do frequent feedings. I have to keep the quarantine tank available for sick (and brooding) fish.
What do you think of the options? Is there another soloution that will allow me to keep the BB (I really like him...) without having to invest in a bigger tank?

It always helps to check water levels dailly or every other day, because water conditions could change from great/good to Bad/Horrible in a span of only 24 hours beleive it or not..and that even quiker than that ur fish will suffer from Shock!! leading to fast illness and or death.
Sorry once again
