I just go three jewel cichlids and they are chasing each other around and it looks like they are fighting. I think they have already established territory, but they still keep chasing each other around. I heard they do that during spawning but they are only 1.5" it looks like there is two males and one female
Is this normal with jewel cichlids?

are they always doing this? i have raised quite a few jewels and even have some smaller ones that came from my last batch all in a tank together. each one will jump at the other if they come to where they are but they dont consistently chase each other around. they are actually pretty calm to each other.
Now one of them is staying away from two of them and the two are kinda chasing each other it's not all the time but often
if your tank has enough room for them to each have a territory i would think that the fighting will calm down soon. if you just got them they are may be in the process of establishing dominent roles in the tank and territory. or the last 2 may be pairing up.
Thanks for the reply, they are starting to settle down now and what are the chances of me getting a pair?
