Being an avid aquarist can be very satisfying or stressful, depending on the knowledge you have in fish. Knowledge can be very helpful, but not always solve the problem. A book may tell you that a certain type of fish can go with this type of fish, but this is not always the case. First hand experience is the best way to get the hang of being an aquarium hobbies. Fish can act differently for a number of reasons, and even for some unexplainable reasons.
There are many ways that a fish can be un-cooperative. Fish can attack other fish. They can constantly bug other fish and scare them. They can be very hyper and be too fast for the other fish. They can dig a lot and knock over plants. Identifying which fish does what is the first step to fixing the problem.
If you find a fish that is causing a problem you must first identify the problem. The fish may be attacking all the other fish or attacking a certain group of fish. The case may be that two of the fish are battling it out or one fish does not like a certain other fish. The fish may just be digging or very hyper. Whatever the problem is it can be fixed.
Solving this problem can be easy and done without having to kill the fish. Isolating the fish that has the problem in a different tank for a while is best. If the problems cease in your main tank then the fish cannot be with the other fish in the tank, and is best left alone or maybe only with its own kind.
If a group of fish or a few groups of fish are fighting then the problem may take longer to fix. You can remove the first group of fish from the tank and see if the fish are peaceful without that group. Next move the other group of fish to see if the first group is the problem. The group that is the most troublesome must be removed from the tank.
