Sadly this is why I don't keep orinos anymore. They tend to be nothing but problem for me. You can try dither fish but imo, most cichla only tend to be that aggressive towards other cichla.

Try some dithers I like to use silver dollars but it's a matter of preference, it should help but they won't completely stop. Bass fight to establish a pecking order, and they fight for dominance.

I'll try to get some dollars but if the fight doesn't stop, I'm out of options and hope for the best and just watch them lose their scales and fins
