Bully Already

Now I know why the one hides all the time the other one just hogs everything and when there's no food he's constantly nipping at the other one. I don't have any lfs I had to order online so I can't add more in here to curve the aggression. He doesn't get Nearly as much food either cause the other one like chases him away. Any advice? The one by the log is the victim

You might want to try some dither fish to distract 1 from the other. They could be something more common, and even something the P bass could eat later on with growth.
If you want to be geographically correct there are many choices, anything from tetras to other cichlids.(silver dollars are often readily available and geographically correct, and might not get eaten for a long time)
I received some xCichlasoma ornatum recently and they were very aggressive each other right away (even at 1"), until I added some bulkier Guianacara, and the aggression was greatly reduced.

The only fish store I have is a petsmart over an hour away and Walmart but I don't trust a Walmart fish probably carries a disease ya know

I know I could get tetras I just think those things will get eaten immediately lol then they would be right back to fighting again

Well I ended up just ordering two more ocells from the same place after a close call with walmart fish. I figured this would be the easiest solution. I just hope they all get along lol. I KNOW I KNOW I have a total of 4 in there now and I should have ordered 3 more to make it odd number. I just know Ill have a 180 gal soon & its going to have to last a while.
