BP aggression twords firemouth cichlid

[oscaroo]

There is not too much bullying. Any ways to cut down the chasing. It is a 65 gallon 3ft tank with 2 Bps and 1 FM and a long finned albino briselnose pleco and some community fish that i am planning on giving away. Thanks


In my old thread the BPs bullied the FM like crazy. I moved him to a different tank. Then like a month later(yesterday) I moved the Bps to a different tank, for like 5 minuets.Then i put the FM in the 65 gallon tank. The I rearranged the decor. The I moved the Bps to the 65 gallon tank. they got along fine. then later I made rock caves and took out the other decor. Then the Bps started to chase the FM. Any ways to reduce aggression. It is not that bad.

Get a larger tank, or increase the number of fish in the tank.

65 gallon stock-I have 1 BP and 1 FM and 1 female convict and 1 long finned albino briselnosed pleco and some community fish that I will move. My big and mean BP is in a tank by itself now. I might get 1 more cichlid for my 65 gallon tank.
