I have a adult albino ruby red that chases my 2 red flush peacocks into the top of one side of the tank. This is a all male 55g tank this is the stock
1 albino ruby red. 6"
1 ruby red. 3 1/2"
1 yellow lab. 3"
1 demasoni. 4"
1 acei. 3"
2 red flush. 4 and 5"
I wana kno if theres a way to stop the fighting
 
How long has this happened? It could be they are just establishing dominance. If there isn't a lot of caves for them I would make some more to help decrease aggression. If you just got the fish then wait a little bit because they are probably just establishing who is tougher than who.. Good luck
 
Sounds like hes the most dominant especially since hes the biggest...I would get 1 or maybe 2 more larger ones around the size of him and that should do it...but even that might not work, theres just some fish that will always be that way...and with africans, if you have less hiding places I believe it actually lessens the aggression because then they have fewer hiding places and territories to claim and fight over
 
Clown you may be right but in my experience if you have almost more caves then fish then the fish find places and establish them and keep them otherwise if you have 1 or 2 caves for 5 fish then there is going to be a constant fight. This is just what I have found out, but you present a valid point
