BUTTIKO OUT OF CONTROL!!!!

[EJKC]

I have a 55 grow out tank, the fish will go in a 125 or 180 depending on how aggressive they turn out to be. Well a have a 3.5 in Pearl scale Geophagus, a Texas 3.5, a mixed fish 3 in, 2 cuteri 3-3.5 and a 5in jag. Well any way my Buttiko is 2 inch. and is running a big riot in the tank. He won't leave any fish alone besides the jag. He beats all of the up even at the same time. I don't know what to do, I want to keep him, but I don't have any open tanks at the moment. What would you guys suggest I do? I do have a 125 with a couple cichlids, but they range from 4"-7".

if its trying to kill things at 2", its gonna need to be kept alone.

Damn, do you really think I should?

I would put him in the 125, well depending on what's in there. I have a 2.5 inch butti with 2 11 inch O's, one 14 inch aro, a 10inch jag and a 6 inch dempsy. Butti does fine, just make sure you have a lot of hiding spots. Bigger cichlids will put him in his spot, for now.....

NO he just said that for the sake of it....

I would try him in the 125 and see how he works out, if not rehome him or rehome the other fish...
