Both an all male tank and a heavily stocked tank are good pieces of advice. If you have females in there it leads to conflicts.

boys will be boys. just let them fight and add more decorations. you have enough fish in there so no one would be hurt.

nice avatar!a.b.?

they're gonna fight.I would try one of each type of male,as another way to go,and more hiding spots is always a good idea.venustus are usually nore peaceful so maybe you have a mean one,or maybe he wants to breed.

both venustus and dimi comp are adults the rest of the fish are sub adult
