Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Corrective stocking Supplemental Stocking Fatalities?

Hey guys I have a question on the dynamics that occur within the pond when supplemental stocking is done.

Years ago I did an experiment where I had an African ciclid in one aquarium and a BG in the other. When I placed the BG in the ciclid's tank, the ciclid attacked the BG relentlessly until I had to remove it before it was dead. The BG did not fight back. A few weeks later, when the fish had recovered, I placed the ciclid into the BG tank. Same result except this time the BG was the aggressor and nearly killed the ciclid. When I placed both fish into a "new" tank at the same time they pretty much ignored each other.

In a pond does the same thing happen to some extent when new fish are added to the pond? Is there some fatalities to the new additions due to territorial behavior?

Thanks!
