Zebra in TROUBLE

[psychwolf]

Hey folks
Just wondering if you could guide me in the right direction. I have some red zebras and they all seem to be picking on just one. His fins are shredded and his scales look rough. What should I do? I thought about seperating him, but then would I ever be able to introduce him back to the tank?
Thanks

I would separate him until he heals up.
You can reintroduce him back in by rearranging the stonework.
Or you can get rid of him.

That is how life works.  The weakest one gets his ass kicked.  Are they breeding size.  Lot of times you will see this with males.  If you have a dominant male, he will chase the other males to show that he is the boss.   A trick that has always worked for me is putting long plastic plants on the side.  This way, the fish can go and hide.  Lately, I have bread Rostatus in a six foot aquarium.  The male was so aggressive with his female, I filled 1/3 of the aquarium with plastic plants so the female could hide.  She came out for a small quicky and went back in the plants.
