What should i be looking for as far as catfish fighting? how long should i let it go on before i remove one? how do i know which to remove?
I have 3 syno hybrids and i think teh 2 big ones were fighting earlier. i was rather caught off guard by how hard they were going at it. i seperated them with a net till they lost interest then i did a waterchange and tank rearange and added some more rocks.

It would help to iknow how big each fish is and how big the tank is etc

Are the fish scratched up. Are their fins torn or ripped. These would be signs that you have a problem with compatibility. As was already mentioned is there enough room for all of the Synos to have their own hiding place and territory.

4x2x2 120gallon. 3-4 inch syno hybrids. i think they are syno hybrid 1. alls been well for 3-4 months. and just all of a sudden. ive only seen it 1 time.

Sounds like they are asserting a pecking order as they are growing...keep in mind everytime the tank gets rearranged they will go through restablishing the pecking order yet again.

The 2 big ones both have a chunk of meat missing from there noses pea size.i see no agresion since the first and only time, but of course they are at it at night i suppose. both ate and didnt fight. they werent missing the nose meat when i saw it all happen.

my camera is mia right now.
