Hey guys
I have two gold severum & two juvenile oscar in my tank but recently one of my male severum bullying other fish . This severum always try to push my other severum behind the river rock in my tank and dint let her out (actually i dont know its male or female) like he try her not to let the nest left alone .
Any help????
 
15-20 gallons is WAY too small. You'll need a much bigger tank to house those fish. the bigger they get, the more aggressive they'll be. So either upgrade now, or rehome them all and get a fish more suited to a small tank

I'm thinking that the bully is the more dominant of the group and it's going to get worse bc 20 gallons is way too small not even for one of those fish alone.

Until you get a bigger tank ( which should be soon) I would suggest getting plants,rocks,decor etc to break up the line of sight between the fish. It also gives the ones being bullied some where to hid
