My siamese algae eater was being a menace in my one tank. He was terrorizing the corys! I put him in a tank that was intended for my young angelfish & betta. He was doing fine and this tank has more hiding spaces .. so I put 2 corys in to see what he would do. Same old BAD behavior! So I took those corys out within 2 days, and now they live with the other ones in the previous tank.
Now I’m starting to notice spots on my angels! It has to be from him, sucking on them!
I also saw him get a wild hair up his arse and chase them... it’s not as bad or as often as he did with the Cory’s. I’m just not liking those spots where he sucked on my angels!
He also gets aggressive during feeding time. He eats just like an angelfish and likes to be hand fed! No fear! I give him those algae wafers too, and that triggers his wild behavior bc he gets very territorial over them.
Idk what to do w him! And I’m bonded to him… I can’t just give him away. I just need help and advice on how to fix this behavior! He’s huge- 4-5in and getting bigger by the day.
You can see the hole I’m talking about on the black veil… back fin.
The black zebra also had a literal HOLE on his top fin, noticed it yesterday morning, gave meds, and by the time I got back from work it was healed up.. but I can see a scar
