I currently own a 75 gallon aquarium with a texas cichlid that is about 5" in length, a green terror that is about 3.5" in length and a convict cichlid that is about 7.5" in length. Now the problem is the green terror and the texas are tag teaming this convict and are beating him up bad, I just got the convict from a friend who got out of the hobby but owned the fish for many years and he is the coolest looking convict I have ever seen and was figuring the 75 gallon tank would have been large enough for these 3 cichlids to live in but my other 2 fish began just outright chasing and biting him, I ran out to the pet store and bought some decor and did a water change but it hasent really solved my problem they continue to attack him. So I was thinking of getting some kind of divider for the aquarium and keeping the convict by himself, but I cant find any dividers for a 75 gallon aquarium. I figured u guys could help me out any help with a link or if anyone has one that they would wanna sell I would appreciate it guys.
Tank Divider?

They seemed happy with the space they had, they actually looked really small in there. Anyone else have any advice on this matter?
use eggcrate that is what I use and it is much easier than trying to find pre-made fish tank dividers for anything over 29gal tanks
Pull the texas for a couple of days. Rearange the tank again do a massive water change then put the texas back in. Or go buy a bigger tank u know u want 1
Another option I used recently is a plastic version of chicken coup fence. I bought it at Agway. I needed to split up a 210 gallon tank. I cut holes in it to put my drift wood branches through and used them to hold it in place. A few zip ties secured the loos bits.
Thanks for the advice guys, how do I secure this eggcrate so it doesnt fall in the tank? Do I buy it big enough that it fits tightly against the sides?
