Territorial Disputes

My L79 has been at it again. He is the bully of the bunch. He thinks the whole tank is his.

I'd like to try and make some changes. Would it be better to keep on changing the driftwood constantly or to have it stay the same?

Let me know. Thanks.

Regards,
Mike D.

Mike,
You can keep arranging the driftwood to break up territories in hopes of stopping the bully or leave it the same and hope the bully keeps to a small territory that the other fishes learn to steer clear of. The first method will probably work better in a smaller tank and the second in a very large tank where the animal does not feel it needs the entire aquarium as its personal space.

If it's annoying you, why don't you get rid of it? The word "again" in your post indicates that it happens more often.
So why wait till the L79 makes a victim. Or isn't it that bad?
