My 8" black shark & 3" salvini have decided to start kicking the crap out of my 6" JD .the JD has been in there for a week w no probs from anyone,i could put the jd in my 20 but my texas and gt, both about 2", are in there to grow out, and my JD is really stressed! IM not really willing to part w any of them, what would you do ?
 
I'm in a similar situation (thanks to my wife) with her purchase of 2 JDs in an african tank. I'm giving the JDs away to my friend who keeps CAs

Really you'll prolly have to get rid of something to restore the harmony of your community

it sucks.. trust me.. I know it does.
 
there's no way you can make them get along...you can try removing all 3 fish into separate buckets or maybe even the same one...the stress of the move should keep them from fighting...then rearrange the tank and reintroduce them after an hour or so and see what happens. but if that doesn't work really I don't think you're going to have too many options other than getting rid of one of them or getting another tank.
 
I would get rid of the black shark but that's my personal taste. The JD is more interesting and colorful.
