cichlids fighting<DAM>vieja/oscars

[south coast nelly]

For god sakes i thought my cichlids got all the tussles out of there system,
just been sitting here for the last 15mins watching my vieja biff<8inches<attacking my two oscars<10-11inches>notcied both oscars have scrapes down there sides, at one point they were cowering together in the corner of the tank, i chased vieja round tank with net and at present alls peaceful again,,,,lets hope this is a one off problem other wise iam going to have to rehome the vieja as have no more tanks and wife loves the oscars toooo much
funny thing is they tussle and brutis<jag>comes over cheeks blazing and seems to refer the whole fight<

what type of Vieja? Aren't they pretty peaceful, usually? I've only heard of blackbelts being mean.

its a vieja biff,,,,,but i have heard all viejas have a real evil streak,,,when i first got mine it killed a green terror and mutilated a jack dempsey<who survived and now lives with my sister

good luck....nothing worse than seeing a family fave taking a beating....

Hope everything works out so getting rid of the vieja can be avoided.

Oscar don't work with centrals , they just aren't agressive enough.Probably have to find the Viega a home
