How to Keep Pet Fish Safe from One Another

Video Transcript

"Hi. My name is Sally from expertvillage.com from Fish Fantasy and Riverside. We're going to be speaking about how to buy healthy fish. Well, the fish are very territorial; they stake out claims in the fish tank, and if you add, if there's no cover what happens is they end up ganging up on one fish and they'll actually kill it, so you need to have a lot of cover, mainly rocks so they can hide from eachother. It keeps them safe from killing eachother. Unless, once in a while you'll still get a fish that's super aggressive, and sometimes you have to trade them in or get a larger tank. Jules are aggressive. All the kids in here, that includes all the zebras, pseudotrophias, electric blues. And then we get into the really aggressive stuff like the, aradis, red parrots can, they're kind of like a simi-aggressive, they're half red-devil, half cebrum, so it depends on them. Sometimes they can be pretty nice and sometimes they're really, really bad, but very, very aggressive. Rainbows and spylums, they grow up to be very aggressive. The umby, very, very aggressive. But in here they're all so aggressive that they get along fine. Sometimes when we add a new fish we have problems. We'll have to remove the fish because they actually attack it."
