Fish get along 99% of the time - not this day. They are good now after being separated a few days. Saum went to the 55g prison tank as he seemed to try to invade JD's driftwood space.
 
I'm glad things have calmed down. They both look like nice fish.

Yeah, me too. Was hoping I wouldn't need to separate them perm. They are both usually very mellow. The female Salvini you see nailing the Saum in the vid may have had something to do with it.

All I do know is that the Saum was in the JD's space and didn't want to leave. The JD runs that tank - maybe the Saum just gave him a challenge.
 
Really beautiful fish. I love the female Sal coming in on the quick hit-and-run lol. How big are they all? Any other inhabitants?

Thanks. There is also a Lutino Oscar, a Firemouth, and a crazy tough little Kribensis for cichlids. An L-205 Peckoltia Brevis plec rounds out the tank. Soon to put in a Texas Cichlid juvenile and a Green Phantom plec.
 
A bigger tank would help with the aggression from my experience also
I'm going to go with a slight overstock. Seems to be working out so far. If not I have some other smaller tanks where I can split them up if need be. Would love to get a 300G one day, but that isn't happening any time soon.


Thanks to all for the comments. :)
