I have 1 3.5 inch male convict he owns the tank, 1 - 1.5 inch female convict, 2 - 4 inch green severums, 1 - 3 inch fire mouth, 1 - 4 inch midas he thinks he owns the tank until either of the convicts swim near him, 1 - 3 inch midas.

The poor fire mouth is the lowest in the pecking order, then the sevs except when they decide to stand thier ground wich is rare, I was thinking of removing my my male convict and the smaller midas and see if that settles the tank down ?

I may have to rehome my fire mouth down the road too as he just way to layed back to be in with these bullies.

I feel like I may have too many fish in this tank but I know others who have similar sized tanks with more fish, but would like other opinions.

I know the midas will eventualy need a bigger tank and maybe his own tank and when he gets that big I will take that step.
 
Have the convicts started breeding yet? If they haven't yet, in my experience they'll make life hell for anything that is within sight of the fry when they do.
