When do you make the decision to rehome a fish?
My black acara is the king of my tank. It gets along fine and is very chill until there is food in the water. Then it eats as much as possible along with all the other fish, but when the food starts to all get eaten and only a little bit is left, it gets a bit territorial. It does these quick bursts where it chases any fish the size of a Ram or larger that is within its view and within like 12-18 inches. Basically like a quick but powerful nudge attempt as a reminder to get out of its way. It never makes contact with any fish, they get out of the way in time.
Is this normal behavior you would let slide or is this continuous stress enough to make you want to get rid of the fish?
I have tried to give it a 'time out' when feeding, but it just is not feasible to catch it every time I feed the tank. The second time I tried, it took me like 10 minutes to get it.
