i know they're cichilids and all, but i thought they were peaceful and community oriented.
so it's odd when i introduced this 1.5" little guy, named "mr discus" into my 29 gallon setup only to find the innocently funny fish took charge of HALF THE TANK. that's right, not a single hiding spot, or some "cave" like area, but half the tank. he sits right above some amazon swords (at leat i think they're amazon swords) and the moment any of the other angelfish come into his domain in charges and nips.
i already have a dominant angelfish pair in the tank, and they generally chase off the other two angels, but that's all they do, chase. this guy, he goes up agaist the large male angel 2.5x his size and takes bites.
will he calm down, or is this how he's gonna behave? if he's going to be this agressive, i'll have no choice but to remove him and give him back.
