I have 4 sens and 2 dels in a 70 with an electric yellow (that my roommates gf got randomly) and tried to have some convicts but one died. But still had one left just got 2 more today trying to breed them but noticed that all the sens has some bite marks on their tails. i separated the yellow after it attacked the convicts. What should i do?

Thanks!!

You should get another tank, preferably a larger one. The del's will eventually want a bigger tank really. You can move your bichirs to that other tank, the 70 is fine for the cichlids.

You could wait a bit and see if it calms down. My sens annoy my cichlids and get a nip every now and then....but watch the cons. My 2 larger sens deathrolled a few of my cutteri into bite-sized chunks one night.

The electric yellow will probably be a no-go in the long run.
