peacock bullying problem

[LilBabyEmma]

I have 2 peacocks in my 55g tank with my demasonis and yellows. There a ruby red and strawberry / blueberry hybrid. The hybrid just started picking on the ruby really bad the ruby is always hiding. There both the same size. Is there anything i can do to help?

Try adding more fish or adding more hiding spots/barriers.

yeah more fish or if it gets more serious you may have to choose. rearange the decor that may help for a bit

Try to eliminate line of sight by adding decor or more fish. I have had limited success removing the aggressor to an isolation tank for a few weeks by itself, sort of a time out. No cover, no substrate. Bare tank. Has worked for a few bad fish.
Another thing to try is a bit lower temp, say around 76ºF. I notice when the temp is at around 80-82º the fish fight more. Again, I have had limited success with a few fish.
Just my 2¢

I would rearrange tank and make more hiding spots in the process.
Rearranging the tank itself breaks territories and can help the bullying

Re-arranging the tank will stop aggression for a few minutes, but the fish will quickly start fighting over the new territory again.

sry i got some babys around 1/2" or lil bigger im growing to sell but gana keep the good looking ones. I added one of the babys awhile back he lived for around 2 weeks then i think he got ate

Let them grow out a few months. I wouldn't stick them in until they were 1 1/2" or better.
