This is my first post here so I apologize for any errors. I currently have a juvenile Jack Dempsey, Firemouth, and newly added Green Terror growing out in my 60 gallon. The FM is a royal pain sometimes. "He" wants the GT in a corner and nowhere else. There are clear boundaries for each cichlid. The JD chose it's home quickly but the FM wants the rest. (JD and pictus cat wouldn't take the FM bullying) So should I try and move all the decor around again or see if it's just new member aggression? Thanks in advance fr your help and sorry for the long post.
 
Well I reorganized the tank. The JD went right back to one side of the tank. The GT went back to the same corner. And the FM is everywhere but the JDs cave/plants

well what is the size difference on these guys? Post some pics of your tank as well as the fish. Maybe you can also add some decor, make it very full, lots of hiding spots and coverage.

JD is the largest at a little over 3" The FM is only a hair larger than the 2" GT. I added a couple new plants today to break the line of sight more. The GT is actually more active since. And how do I post pictures?
