My Little Bully

Post by Finny »

I've got a major issue with bullies. Growing up, I was on the receiving end of bullying due to my height, and it's left a lasting impact. I've always had a pretty strong dislike for them.

I've got a little Turq that I picked up from the local fish store a few months back. This little guy's got attitude - he's been bullying the other Turq in the misfit tank. The bigger one's been losing weight, and I think it's because he's stuck in the corner by the filter. We dewormed them all about a month ago, so I'm pretty sure that's not the issue.

Yesterday, we decided to move the little bully to the main tank with the bigger fish. He's holding his own, eating like crazy, and thinks he's the king of the tank. These Turqs seem to have a natural-born confidence. Is that typical behavior for them?

I've got a totally different experience with my turqs - they're German wonders and they're right at the bottom of the pecking order in my 75.
