My tank . Problem help

[Jazeel]

I need help . I have a 55 gallon tank . In my tank I have two gold severums , one green/striped severum , one jelly bean parrot , two silver dollars , three blue paradise , one gold gourami and one opaline gourami . I've also had a small pleco which I cant find so it leads me to think he's been eaten . Everyone has been in my tank since January peacefully since there where babies . I've notices the green severum to grow faster than the others and he chases around my two gold severums causing them to hide and behave kind of skittish . What should I do ?

either take the green severum out or get some tall plastic plants for the sevs to hide behind.

I would remove the green sev and not replace him. Your not gonna have room for all those fish as it is once they grow out.

Yea that's what I thought about thanks .

 

[Jazeel]

Can this also mean their mating ? I've notied only one out of my two gold severums do this mouth to mouth thing with my green severum .

 

[jeaninel]

It could be a dominance thing.

Taking out the green sev may not necessarily resolve your territorial issue. Once the green sev is removed, you could still potentially havel territorial issue with the 2 remaining sevs......just cichlids being cichlids. As long as there are no noticeable damages to the submissive parties and they are getting food, I would let the hierarchy work itself out.

I do agree that adding several tall plants will really help.
