i have a 100 g growout tank with a whole bunch of juvie cichlids some of which are growing faster than others.

Anyway... i got this loisellei 3 wks ago and he's been instigating trouble with my dovii who doesn't back down either... both are small but growing fast... about 2 inches now. who will grow faster? will the loisellei continue to be the aggressor and dominate? will the dovii eventually flip out and go psycho? in addition i have a friedrichsthali, and mota in there... i know eventually the tank setup will change... probably pretty quick at the rate they are growing!
 
you never know with cichlids and parachromis.sp inparticular any one could flip out and kill the others or at least beat the sh$% out of them my bet is on the dovii or mota. you need a biger tank.
 
I added my Loisellei to an established community, smaller than everyone else, and since day one he has acted like the boss, flaring at everything that comes near his log.

I see your Dovii outgrowing him, and eventually killing it in a 100 gallon..
