Aquarium Care & Requirements

Managing Aggression with Slight Overpopulation

• Slight overpopulation helps distribute aggression among multiple fish, preventing one individual from being singled out.
• This requires exceptional filtration to handle the increased bioload and high oxygen levels to ensure fish health.
• Plenty of hiding spots (rock caves, ledges) help reduce stress.

Additional Care Tips

✅ Weekly water changes (30–40%) to maintain excellent water quality.
✅ Avoid overfeeding to prevent waste buildup—feed small portions 1–2 times daily.
✅ Monitor aggression levels, and rearrange decorations if needed to reset territories.
