Damn, do you think it'll pass or just carry on doing it until one eventually dies of stress or something?
Any of those things can happen. It depends on the one being bullied.

the blue acara doesn't seem to bothered, may add another couple cichlids to spread the aggression maybeAny of those things can happen. It depends on the one being bullied.

I don't know if it'd make a massive difference at the moment, my tanks like 700L and the majority of my stock are still young and I've got 2 external filters, as they grow I'm a add either a strong internal or another external. At the minute the tank still looks empty hahaDon't get too caught up in adding more cichlids to spread the aggression. More cichlids means higher bio-load.

Yeah, I've heard haha. When I was researching them it was saying a minimum tank size of around 250L now I've got a 700L tank and people are telling me I may need to upgrade itIt will in about 6 months, tinfoils grow really fast.
It's strange to watch because the red hump earth eater isn't actually acting aggressively towards the acara more towards anything that goes near the acara. I think the acara may be male and the red hump female. She just won't leave him be but the acaras doing what I suppose he'd be doing even if she weren't following him, he looks chillYes that is territorial aggression.
I agree with Magnus above. Add more geos to your system. They are really great, peaceful and personable fish. Kept in a group you can observe some of their more natural behavior.
My freshwater aquarium is the same dimesnions as yours. At the moment I have 7 x geophagus red head Tapajos, 6 tinfoils I am growing out, and just got a totally black Oscar.
Thanks man! I was just about to post a thread of them now with their current batch of fry.Man your Tapaojos are Just beautiful! I’m curious how old they are, and how long it took to reach their current size?
