Buffalo Heads question???

[bamboofish]

Hi All,

Buf. Heads---are these little guys kind of nasty guys???
I got a few fry from Heidi I think, a few months ago. I have them in a tank with other fry, yellow labs, etc. They are all approx. an inch or so. As of today I believe one large B. head has killed off all the other Buf. heads, in a few weeks. He/she does not seem to touch the other fry.
Is this normal??

I just looked at the remaining 2 'bully' B. heads, and they are covered in spots I think, like ich, but no other fish in the tank have that.
Maybe it's just damaged scales from fighting???

any thoughts,
Rich

I have had fry from Heidi's Buffalo Heads for approx. 9 months now and believe them to be the most peaceful fish in my tank.  Even the bullies in my tank seem to ignore the Buffalo Heads like they don't exist.

How many fishes do you have in that 20G?  What sizes?  Just by your description in your sig, I would have to think it's an overpopulation-aggression situation.

I have about 30 fry, all an inch or less, in a well planted 20 gal. Half are yellow labs.
