Re: War in My Tank
mating season?
I dunno; I'm not a Cichlid keeper, so I'm not familiar with their personalities maybe try giving them plenty of hiding places; I know they're all territorial. give them all some rocks, caves, and plants, that they can hunker down in and call their own |

Re: War in My Tank
they are hitting sexual maturity and the fighting is 100% normal to establish a pecking order as well as establish Territory's. Mixing the lake species was a mistake as they will kill eachother off as they establish dominance.

Re: War in My Tank
Sometimes re-arranging all the things in the tank will stop the aggression for a while.
