Hey guys, I took my male Convict from my 120g and put him in the 180g because he was getting picked on by my Jack Dempsey and Firemouth and put a Green Severum in the 120g because he wasn't doing to well in the 180g. My question is the Green Severum is doing great in the 120g with the Firemouth and the Dempsey, but the Convict isn't fitting into the 180g like I hoped. So I was wondering if the Convict should go back to the 120g with the Firemouth, Dempsey, Severum and 3 Clown Loaches because maybe the addition of the Severum will spread out aggresion and bring the cichlid count to 4, not 3 like it used to be and they won't target him as much. What do you guys think? Thanks
Convict question?

Id pick one and leave it they will work it out sooner or later cons are tough little fish but they know when to hide
The 180g has 1 Oscar (12in), 1 Chocolate (11in), 1 Blue Acara (5in), 3 Datnoids (3.5-4.5in), 1 Convict (5in), and 5 Silver Dollars. I know Im heavily stocked in the long run, but I do 80% water changes every week and the tank is heavley filtered. The 120g has 1 Severum, 1 Firemouth, 1 Jack Dempsey, and 3 Clown Loaches. Do you think I should give him another go in the 120g, he SHOULD fit in better there and reduce my 180g stocking level. I dont know hes a real bull, he should have some ba**s but he just doesnt have it in him, beatifull fish though and really would like to keep him but it may not be in the cards. Should I give him 1 last shot in the 120g and if that doesnt work set him up with a good home? Thanks
