    Hi all,
    I have 5 altums about 2 years old. They have grown quite big and they are always fighting agressively in my 4 feet tank. they have not formed any pairs yet but they are always fighting day and night such that some fins are slightly damaged but they always grow back. Is this normal or am I so unlucky to have 5 males or 5 females?? I have some tall plants for the losers to hide. What can be done to minimise this aggressive fighting. Its a heartache to see those magnificent fins being damaged. Any help from experienced altum keepers is most welcomed. Thank you in advance.
    Gong Xi Fa Cai.

    angel do fight, unless you can pin point the bully and isolate it in the same tank itself..

    well, get a partition and isolate the aggressor in the same tank for few days or weeks.

    Haha, there is only one loser that is always hiding from the rest. The other 4 are holding on their own fighting among themselves. Guess it's easier just to let them fight and put in more plants for them to hide. Hope they will pair up then it's easier to isolate. Thanks for your contribution.
