Hey you guys my umbee is getting beaten up by my new red devil and now my female red terror...:eek: i took both of them the red devil and red terror out of the 120 where they were all together in...i put them both in a 55 gallon temp. is it possible to get my male umbee's dominance back...i want him to be dominant out of all my fishes as he's my favorite and the one fish im more close to since i raise it since he was first born as a fry...:( will letting my umbee take the 120 for a swim around and find a new territory...will letting my umbee take hold of his own grounds now for say 10-15minutes and let him settle in from his beating...and later add the both red devil and red terror after...and im moving some stuff around or should i just take everything out so they can protect anything and keep more calm...let me know soon
 
arggg will the idea of letting my umbee take a open territory make him dominant again like he used to be before i added the red devil...? i'll add them again later to see what happens
 
NVM! took long enough so i just took the red devil and red terror back into the tank after an hour...my male umbee gots his aggression back and his dominance :FIREdevil:devil: now the red devil and red terror are getting :owned::owned::evil_lol: those two punks now gets to feel the pain my umbee was in from their terror! muhahahahahaha! lol so far my umbee is just flaring at them if they get too close and as for anything else their leaving him alone...:D

what is the sex of devil and festae.. they may have paired off thats what sparked the initial aggressive outburst
red devil is a male and red terror is a female...the red terror is a wild caught and the red devil im not sure...it might be a F1
 
Seems like they were pairing up. Labiatus and the festae can breed and will if they have a given chance. I think that they will bond eventually and take the umbee on again. As agressive an umbee may be, it is still no match for a pair of cichlids.
