That's a great idea. Never thought of kitchen scissor. When you freeze in bulk, Are you starting with frozen or fresh fish?How do you prevent freezer burn? Maybe I just had my tilapia in there too long. Do you go through bags fairly quickly?

I get frozen, I only cut up like a third of a filet at a time and double bag in freezer ziplocs.
Just saw one of my spotted severums nipping at two of my dels. If I see it again they're getting bagged up. Are they more aggressive because they're F1s?
If they bother anyone I'd guess it would be the other cichlids. Is it the same one that is harassing the other severum or can you tell them apart? That's the problem with cichlids - you just never know. :/
I've always wondered about WC vs CB with cichlid aggression, or aggression in general. I had some WC dwarf acaras spawn and go crazy in my tank, and they're not really "supposed" to do that.
You might post in the Cichlid subforum and get some advice from some other sev owners, too.

Yeah, it's the sev that harasses the other sev. I might just take him out.
Might have just gotten a dickhead fish. 
You might just remove him for a bit, I've read about some people who do that and then re-introduce later and it mellows them down. I'm certainly not a cichlid expert though, I have only owned dwarves.
Another option would be to add more wood/plants to break up lines of sight. Sometimes changing things up helps calm fish down.
