How can I reduce the aggressiveness of Tropheus moori?

[zapatower]

Hi! I have one tropheus moori of 4" SL in 100 gallon aquarium. At first time, wasn't aggressive, but now is chasing and bitting finds of the other fishes. The aquarium contains some shelter, but the attacks still continuous. What do you recommend me? No it isn't possible option separate or isolate tropheus moori, i don't like it.
Advices, please. Thanks.

Theres not many options with an overly aggressive fish. If you have plenty of hiding spaces and the aggression continues to the point of stressing out the other fish/nipping fins etc, you dont have much choice but to remove it or get a divider. Theres no magical potion to lessen the aggression level of a fish.

You have 2 options:

#1 - get about 10 more tropheus as they do best in groups

#2 - sell it

most people on here keep their tropheus in species only tanks

Yup. Crowding Tropheus reduces aggression.
