it is a small tank, the established cichlids tend to do that with new cichlids most of the time

especially breeding pairs of cichlids

Is this your flametail con project tank? If so I wouldn't keep anything but the pair in the tank.

try a bigger tank or more decor for them to hide

Especially if they are breeding anytime a fish goes by them they will be attacked.

the tank is 30 gallons ,the HRP and Con have spawned befor ,but as i said the HRP and con were put in this moring and i got the sal later today

the only thing i can suggest is to get rid of the salvini, he will eventually grow out the 30 gallon and unless you got a larger tank, 45G+ then ure gunna have to get rid of the salvini sooner or later.

the cons are attacking it because thats what they do, if u had a larger tank and the cons werent already settled in then there is a possibility that they might be ok but if the sal stays in there with the cons, its not going to have a very long life.
