i was wondering if anyone had any input or have had the same problem. i have a i think male approx 3" FM who is relentlessly beating the crap out of my 2, 2-3" Gt's. there are in my 90g with a few misc catfish. i had to recently seperate all of them between my 90g, 29g and 10g. i have kept my most beat up GT in the 90 to try and gain some strength and terroritory. while my mean FM is in the 10g until the others are better. does any one have any ideas or input. it would be greatly appreciated. i would like to resolve this without getting rid of anyone because i like my GT's but my FM is my favorite due to his deformed face (a major underbite) and his personality.

my GT has always owned the tank whether what tank she is in i've kept her with red devils, FM's, etc. give the GT time and the GT should outgrow the FM because FM's are very slow growers. keep the fish in the same tank with a divider and they can get used to eachother but with no harm to eachother.
I had a 7.5in FM and he was a killer,He would chase my GT,texas,JD's and a few africans around the tank!!
I lost him abouta year ago...one of my fav cichlids

i was thinking about getting a divider but its a 90g surfline so its not exactly the easiest to put in a divider. i was thinking about putting in some high fake plants to cut the vision, but the FM will hunt down the GT's. if he/she knows where they are hiding he wont stop until he gets them out of the spot they are in.
any suggestions on what to use for a divider on my tank? like i said its a 90g surfline so i could place a divider before the bow begins. what could i use that is high enough and wide enough. i have seen tank dividers but the biggest i am able to find is for a 55g. any suggestions?
