Tank Problems

[CichlidGold]

I have a 100G tank which had a Texas in it, a Green Severum, and a small salvini. They all got along great until one day I found an awesome male salvini at a LFS, about 6-7 inches, for 15 bucks. Well I had to get him so now he bullies everyone including the small salvini (which I think is a male also) What can I do to curb this aggression. Ive changed the decor, the only other thing I can think of is that the small salvini could be female, and I may need to remove it, any thoughts?

if i were you i would get rid of the smaller one if he is getting beat on, or add like 4 big male convicts. or some other dither.

Salvini can fight well above their weight. A large male is always going to try and dominate that tank. Supply heaps of hiding places for you other fish and hope he doesn't claim too big a territory.
