my BP is taking over dominance in the tank with my JD. i feel like my JD should be dominant since he was in the tank first, and i feel bad that the other fish chases him around all the time to the top of the tank. is there anyway to switch the dominance?
dominance?

yeah try removing the fish that is dominant for about a week and the other fish should take over within hours . trust me i switch dominance over my tank everytime i feel that its necessary
How big are your fish and how long have you had them together?
Your dempsey will figure out where his balls are soon enough, and the bp will learn to find something else to entertain itself. Mines finally decided shes had enough of my firemouth, and the firemouth is still much larger...

my JD is about 4" and my BP is about 3.5 - 4". the only other fish is a common pleco, but no one messes with him
and i've had them together for about a week now. but the JD has been in the tank for 5 weeks and the BP has only be in there for one
alright we'll see what happens, they don't fight or anything so im not worried, he just stole my JD's hiding spot and chases him around all the time
