So yesterday I added 2 new cichilds to my 55 a Greshakei, and chipokae. This morning I noticed my dominate red zebra hanging out by the filters like the sub Doms do, so my question is was he dethroned or sick? I haven't seen him getting chased he usually do the chasing I did notice one of the main fish he hates a hybrid fighting my Metriaclima sp. mbweca and winning cuz he's hainging out by the filters also. Any input would be great.

Chipokae are big nasty fish that rarely do well in a 55g. They are much too aggressive and get much too big. I would suggest returning him.

Sounds like you have a new boss in the tank.

The issue was with the red zebra I figured out he has fin rot.

This guy was the dominant untill this, and for the chipokae I will if he gets out of order and I have a aggressive stock so he's been kept in check.
