i have a rainbow shark that is ullying all of my other fish. the thing is that all of my fish are almost the same size, but he is a little fatter(rounder). he just started this week after having all the fish together for 3 months. My other fish are:
3 neon tetras
2 rasboras
2 black neon tetras
1 pleco
2 platies
and another rainbow shark.
What should i do, i don't want anyone to die!

What size is the tank?

Your best bet would probably be to get rid of the aggressive rainbow shark.

I had to do that with an opaline gourami. He was really pretty and I hated having to return him, but he would not stop bugging my emerald cats. They were so terrified, they wouldn't come out of the corner. Since I returned the gourami, the cat are much happier and swimming all over the tank.

the ten gallon is overstocked and rainbow sharks are territorial fish.. so if you get a larger tank, you may see less agression in the fish.That happend to me, and i moved him to a larger tank, and he is much more peaceful now.
