I love all my fish, but now that they are mature i have a pair of dempseye that are trying to take over the whole tank. i also have 3 oscars and a pair of convicts .It's a 90 gal tank ,anyway,i know i neef to make some room and not sure who should go .
My dempseys are so beautiful, as are my oscars and convicts.
the oscars (2 albino and 1 normal tiger) have spawned and the comvicts are about to
i am rehoming the 1 albino oscar ,is there any way i can keep the 6 fish and keep peace? they all grew up together , i know that doesn't mean anything just cant afford another tank right now or i would give the dempseys their own tank ,any suggestions?
 
If all of those fish are near or at adult sizes youre really going to need more room. I'd just keep an eye on your parameters, and if it looks like individual fish are getting picked on, remove them one at a time. Honestly if your jacks and convicts are spawning, or could be soon, it will be hard to keep the peace, but I'd wait, keep an eye on your parameters and keep a close eye on the stress of your fish, then be ready to change things up as needed
