Trouble in GT paradise

[Mrs. Nicky]

I vented my green terrors so I know that I have 2 females and 1 male. The male and the least attractive female are very fond of each other. The problem is that the other prettier female has become very aggressive. She chases the other GT's to no end. She tries to bite them and rams them if she is able to. It had gotten so bad that I took her out today. So my question is, is it safe to say that the two GT's that hang out together will most likely pair up? If that is the case I will simply re home the aggressive female, but if not I will try to add her back to the tank in a few days or so. The male GT is about 3 inches and the females are about 2.5 inches.

It doesn't sound like they're paired up. However if you want a peaceful tank the other female might have to go. Remove her for like a month then add her back. Maybe the others will put her in her place. Nothings guaranteed with cichlids like this.

Unfortunately I don't have anywhere I could keep here for a month. I have her in a breeding box right now. Imma have to find her a new home. Kinda sucks because I was kinda hoping my male would pair up with her since she is the better looking one out of the two females.

i'd say your chances of pairing the aggressive female with the male are shot, unless you're able to grow out the male a bit. sounds like an excuse for another tank to me haha.

I'd personally rehome the female and take the chance with the potential pair.
