I agree on trading in some of the more aggressive ones. The Acei will be the first to get beat up on from my prior experience

Another option will be to overcrowd the tank with a bunch of more little ones, that will be disperse the aggression. Lots of rock covers and great filtration system!

In my tank the Auratus aren't nearly as aggressive as I expected them to be. The Bumblebees are the bullys followed by Kenyis.

Auratus/Bumblebee ---- ticking bomb. Too aggressive, too strong for Acei. When the males start digging....watch out..
