should I buy a severum to alleviate bullying

[kqui9357]

Ive got a green severum that likes to bully the gold severum and chase it away if it gets close or it sees it. Ive been told by someone on here that it establishing its dominance but its been months and my gold severum has taken to hiding in the corner and tries not to move whenever the other one is near. Im concerned for poor Sunny. (My bf wanted the green wild one) So im thinking if I buy another gold itd b bullied a little less. Any ideas? Their about 3 and a half inches
110 gallons
2 severums (both bought from same store at same time)
3 silver dollars
3 angelfish
1 firemouth
1 convict (will be moving to another tank)
lots of hiding spots

I'd get 2 more. If you have 3 one may get ganged up on, if you have 4 and 2 work as ak team they'll usually pick on both of them at separate times.

I too have green severum.........But I do not have him paired up yet...........He does well in my 125...........Being fluent in cichlids, I suggest buying 3-5 severums and letting them pair off.........Having just two is like having two pitbulls looking at each other all day..........

Your tank is big enough to house more severum so I agree that you should add more so that not just 1 is taking all the hits from the meanest one.
