tank size: 4 X 1.5 X 1.5 ( both tanks)

running on 1 OHF and two internal filters

- aros- 14 inches. ( 1.5 and green) ( tigers 4 , 0ne 7 inch and 3 - 5 inch)

i saw from afar that the aros and tigers will chase the TFBs..

when the TFBs died.. alot of the scales are gone

yesterday, at the 2nd tank... the eyes are also gone...(tfb)

Parrots are superb eye-suckers. But the deaths and kms not eating may be due to other causes, e.g. disease, etc.

i reckon ur tank is too small to house these mid-size fishes, hence the aggression.

I have not found a cure for persistently aggressive aros. Some are just like that. Had a 6 incher that just murdered everything, including 10 inch sucker fish. A bigger tank is good but size may not help unless you are talking about pond sized ones.

You may just have to keep what you have left if they seem to get along.
