Sevrum help!

[Fishtank6575]

Hi Guys I have a 63 gallon juwel aquarium and it has been running for 1 year and regular water changes I currently have
1 Angelfish.
2 Three spotted gouramis.
1 electric blue acara.
and 2 red spotted sevrums
I just got 2 sevs they are about 2.5 inches the little bigger sev keeps chasing the smaller sev and when the smaller 1 gets close he will nip and bite him I have experience with community fish but not with cichlids could any1 help me, thanks James

Cichlids dont seem to be community fish so I think what you describe is normal. If I had to guess I would say the larger one is telling the other to go and get it out my space!

For now watch them and use your best judgement. If one fish is being abused and you feel its in danger remove it or the abuser.

Thats alot of cichlids in that tank though and those severums get big. I have one that might be over 8" and thick.

Thanks for the tip I had already know about how big the sevrums would get I will keep a look and see how they behave if worst comes to worst I might have to remove the smaller 1mand put him in another tank thanks anyway
