Default Tail bitting?

Hi bros,

Posting this thread on behalf of my cousin... he saw his aro chasing her tail by swimming in a round pattern... Is it a tail bitting syndrome? What precaution need to be taken to prevent this as the aro fail to bite her own tail, at least till now...

TQ.

Try and get the aro a tank mate be it a tin-foil, blood parrots, tigers, etc. to divert its attention from tailbiting.

my ex red developed this problem becos of tank mates... maybe juz my bad luck. tried to cure it using various methods but is only temporary. it will still go back to tail biting after a while.

My ex fish always looked at the reflection of the tail at the bottom of the tank and chased after it......Does yours do the same too? If so, perhaps putting a layer of sand to cut the reflection might help
