red bay snook tankmate fighting with jack

[dbestnindy]

I currently have a red bay snook, jack dempsey and tinfoil barb in a 120 gallon tank. They have been together for over two years. The jack had decided to beat up the snook. I am guessing I should get rid of the jack. My husband is having a fit over it. He says he done and won't help anymore. We have both become attached to all our fish. What would you do? I just want what is best for them. Also would like to know best tankmates for the snook.

is the tank long enough you could divide it and both fish will have adequate swimming room? dimentions?

First fight? Or is it continual beatings?

I'd try the divider method, as it will allow both of you to have your fish without getting rid of one...I've had instances where I separate the aggressor for some time, and when it returns finds itself a lot lower in the tank hierarchy
