Aggressive rainbow fish

[Joshuakahan]

This is kinda weird. I have a 2.5” male turquoise rainbow that I had with a group of rainbows and some geos and hujeta. The turquoise became too aggressive and was chasing them, so I decided to try it in my all male hap tank. The haps/mbuna and peacocks are all 4-8”. The rainbow is chasing those around too, didn’t expect that

My Aussie rainbows are a-holes as well. While my cichlids were small, they would get into fights with them. They also picked off one of their own because it was the new guy.

Lol I’m leaving mine with the haps, seems to be where it belongs.

Sometimes "peaceful fish" can be pretty aggressive.

I remember having a super aggressive swordtail that killed its own partner, an albino corydora, a keyhole cichlid, and even a full-sized opaline gourami.
