COVICT CICHLID NO LONGER A BULLY, NOW TIMID
I have 8 cichlids in a 125 gallon tank (see signature). All the fish are pretty small as I've only had the tank a couple months. My convict cichlid was the first (and only) fish so far to be aggression to the other fish. He even nipped at the larger Oscar. All of a sudden, he went from being the only bully in the tank to being timid and hiding much of the time. I never saw another fish fight back, so I'm not sure what happened. Does this sound normal?
Thanks so much for any help!
