Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

So I noticed a small Silver swimming around at the top of my tank and after taking him out and having a closer look it seems his tail has been eaten by his bigger brothers? Also he is missing scales. Is it normal for Silvers to pick on the runt?

He is the smallest of a batch of 80 fry that I got in April

I had the same with my jades, lost 2 to that and none since.

I have a real bully of a silver in an aquarium inside. He picks on the other 2 silvers that are smaller than him. They can be pretty aggressive from what i hear.

I have decided to take this little fella under my wing and together we are going to put in motion a plan to fight back against the Bullies. The next 10 months I will personally train him everyday, he will eat sleep and breath in my Dojo (aquarium) and come next Summer we will see who the little guys are with no tails.
Lets get to it Stumpy!
