So I am in a situation. I have a 75 gallon cihclid / community tank. However lately my male firemouth thinks he is boss and well.. he is acting like one. I noticed today one of my african cichlids ( can't remember the name but it looks like a tiger sorta with maybe 4-5 black stripes, and a yellowish tint to its body) has a chunk of his tail missing. I can only guess who could have done that. Also stocked in the tank is another firemouth ( much more friendly and peaceful ) , a buffalo head, a keyhole, 3 GBR, a jewel cichlid, a convict, an opaline gourami ( he seems to get along fine with everyone ) and about 10 cories. I tried to pick out relatively peaceful cichlids while aquiring my fish, however this boy just doesn't mess around. Is there anything I can do? I really don't want to get rid of him because he is a BEAUTIFUL fish, I've never seen a firemouth like him. He's probably the priettiest of all my fish. Any suggestions? Also, I can't rearrange my decor and put him back in the tank, it is heavily planted and I won't pull up all my plants haha. Thanks for replies!
And one more thing, don't harass me because I have South/Central and African cichlids mixed. I know this. I've done my research and made sure all would be well, and all is except this aggresssion issue.
