i have a problem with my 3" green terror. he will not leave my 3.5" tiger alone. i have had them together for about 2 months now but, lately it has gotten pretty bad with the oscar being chased into rocks and getting banged up.
any advice on what to do? i am hoping that this will subside when everyone is moved to the 120gallon.

Well, it looks like your going to have to separate them. Otherwise, it will only get worse.

i agree with art. unless your 120 is ready in a few days you might have to look at rehoming the gt. if the new tank is ready soon you could try a divider in the present tank and then reintroduce them in the larger one. no guarentees it will work but i could be worth a shot.

Warning..I will offend you at some point!!!
my goal is simple a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all

you had been cover by necro and art. what i can only
add is, while waiting for your new big tank, try to
re-arrange the existing tank to break the territorial
dominance created by GT. hope this will help

in the 60 gallon i have 2 young oscars (one 3.5", one 5.5" ). a 4 inch blue ahli, the 3" green terror, and a 3.5" leapord pleco.
I have the 120 in the garage. i have to save for the filter system and still have to build the stand

I don't think that will solve the problem long-term, but give it a go if you like, can't hurt.

well it has for me, 1 of my oscars got a bit heavy with my other 1, so he got put in the net for a few hours, and guess what? he dont done it again. that post you done about the net is a cracking bit of advise.
well done mate

i sure hope it works. i really like the terror, and cant wait to see what he/she will look like when mature.
if the O was outgroing him, then i wouldn't be too worried. but the terror seems to be growing at a quicker pace:(
