[AquaticLife] My crazy Golden “Chinese” Algae Eater
What may be happening is the establishment of new territories or limits. In the old tank, he may have accepted a limited territory or may have even been subservient if he was added last but now that things have been changed around, he is asserting himself and establishing limits on the other fish.
It’s kind of like how when introducing a new fish into a tank with territorial fish, you would first move everything around… plants, decorations, etc., so the existing fish lose their established territories and then ALL of the fish, including the new ones, have to start over, but at least the new fish has a so-called fighting chance at establishing his own territory.
When you moved all of the fish around, it could be the start of a new pecking order and the CAE decided he doesn’t want to be at the bottom of the totem pole any longer.
