Hello I have 3 small 1nch frontosa fish .1 is probably 2 inches I noticed the bigger one chases the other ones around an last night I found a small one dead wondering if this is normal I thought they were a none aggressive fish anyone one can help?
 
They are still a Cichlid. Can you post a pic of your tank ?

What size tank ? Any other fish ?

What are your water parameters ? Are they very different from where you got them ?

How is tank set up ?
Are you using Aragonite or crushed coral ?

Do you have plenty of caves ?

If Frontosa feel secure AND it is a big enough tank, they are relatively non aggressive. In small tanks or if not enough caves they will stress and fight.
IME.

I am not a Frontosa expert, but I've sold them.
 
Everything appears to be the same as my LFS pH is 7.6 an had it the only thing I think is a different bread of frontosa than the others. It's a 75 Gallon with 3 1 inchers an 1 Synspilum that is 6 inches but the Synspilum doesn't bother the other three I'm not Shure how to send u a pic on this site
