Aggressive Severums?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i have one that is 7" and one at 5" in with uaru (4"-7") and port acara (3-4")

and neither one of them are agro at all !!! not even to the smaller ports.
 
My severums are only agressive with each other. The red head female is the worst, I had to take my male gold out of the tank because she wouldn't even let him eat.
 
I have a Turquoise that chases most of my fish and beats up on my Chocolate.
 
My sevs in the past haven't been too bad, but the gold male I have now is the biggest jackass ever. He's not even full grown - right now he's about 6". Had him since he was about 2.5". I first got him and put him in my SA community tank with a MUCH bigger S. daemon and some other larger fish. Finally had to move him and put him into a tank with the slightly bigger goldsaum breeding pair and convict male because he was such a jerk to everyone in his other tank. He held his own for a couple months, maybe less, before I noticed the convict male (about 3.5" to the gold sev's 4") hiding in the corner. Chester (the sev) beat him to **** and he died a couple days later. Then he started beating on the goldsaum pair. I just removed the female the other day. I tried adding two more green sevs since I didn't want one sev in the tank by himself...he beat the snot out of the bigger guy and I had to remove him, but is allowing the smaller one to hang out with him. I'm assuming it's a female. If the little jackass wasn't so freaking gorgeous, I'd get rid of the bastard.
