Rebuilding my 120 gallon. Have 3 bichir and 2 severum. The sevs are siblings and fight constantly. I separated the bully out to another tank. Wondering if they will work it out eventually or if I should rehome 1. If I rehome, what's a good tank mate for 1 sev and 3 bichir. Must be big enough to not get eaten but peaceful. Thanks!
 
It's been my experience that when keeping fighting like Cichlids, the bully is usually the best looking & more disease resistant fish. IMO, That's the one to keep. As for future tankmates, maybe a Rivulatus GT and a school of Spotted SD's. Might even mix in a small group of Firemouths.

Thanks for the advice. I had the same thought that the bully seems healthier. I do like your suggestions for tank mates.
