Today I went to feed my 220 gal CA cichlid tank..and I dropped a few pellet's in there and my red devil kept on hogging all the food. Then my dovii went beserk and started chasing my devil and my Jag around the tank? I just came back from work, and my devils fin's and lip's have bite mark's. Should I divide the tank for the night??
Dovii cichlid aggression problem?

Dovii don't play well with others I would divide the tank and think about rehoming options
as the dovii will eventually kill off all others

8 to 10 inches seem to be when Dovii start to get really aggressive you could have a issue on your hands my male has a 190 to himself
lol, really? My old 12" dovii is living in a 180 peacefully with other midas, red devils, oscars, and a few catfish. You either need more fish or 1 dovii
All Dovii have a breaking point where they no longer have the tolerance for other fish in their tank... Unless your tank is EXTREMELY large. I would suggest dividing the tank for now and trying to find a home for it. That doesn't mean you have to give it away, it just means you need to find a tank that it can call it's own and can grow up comfortably in.
