In my 125 I have a ebjd and a nic both just over 4". These 2 have shared the tank for 3 month and never paid any attention to one another, however for the last 2 weeks the nic was quarantined for internal parasite treatment and now that she is healthy again I returned her to the 125 and in less than 5 minutes the ebjd had half the nic's face in his mouth and relentlessly followed her around the tank. I guess my ebjd didn't get the memo stating that he's supposed to be peaceful.
 
quick thought: take 'em both out, re-arrange the tank, and then put 'em both back in . . . no guarantees, but it might help
 
They seem to be calming down. I'm gonna keep an eye on them, it might prison rules going on right now and the ebjd is just letting her know her place.
 
yeah mines like that he does like any other cichlid in his space.
