I bought a large severum last month. I have 4 large silver dollars and 2 parrot fish in a 55 gallon tank. My problem is that when I feed the fish, the severum attacks the other fish and doesn't let them eat. If the other fish try to move he will attack them. Called the pet store and they said to take the severum out of the tank and rearrange the tank rocks and fake plant and then put him back in. Does this make sense or should I just take the fish back?
 
Im not familiar with those specific fish, but ive had the same issue with my cichlids back in the day.

Rearranging the tank can really help since the fish will sort of re-establish territory.

Just because it can help, doesnt mean it will work for your fish, but i think its worth a try
