Green Terror Aggression

[bass4lyfe]

I have like a 3" green terror in my 125 gallon tank and he seems to want the tank by himself, there's plenty of plants and hiding places for others fish. I put a clown knife bigger than him and he killed him in less than a day. Is there any i could do to put other fish, because I wanted to put 5 clown loachs.

I Have a pbass thats less than a 1" and he doesnt try to kill him I think because he so small and hides.

you could try a similar sized JD or black convict.

completely agree with adding another cichlid in there. if adding more fish isnt what you want, try:

1)re-arranging the decorations to make new territory.
2) lower temp
3) take him out of tank for a few weeks then re-introduce him in the 125 (this method only works if u have someone to claim top spot once he's gone)

Yea temp is a big factor my Jd was super aggressive I couldn't figure out why then saw the tank was around 82-84 lowered it to 72-75 and he is much calmer.

I have enough decorations ill try lowering the temp if and taking him out when i get new fish.
