Currently I just replaced my community fish for some SA cichlids. I have a 5 to 6 inch Hypsophrys nicaraguensis (HN), a green terror (2.5 in), and a green severum(4 in). The HN is whupping everyone's butt around the 40 gallon fish tank. He chases them around on a whim but doesn't seem to bite them (not that I can see anyway). I then started to notice that the fins on both the severum and GT are showing splits. Plus, they both hover around the top corners in the tank. I've put tons of hiding places but I just can't calm the feud. I've run out of ideas on what to do. I'm thinking it's time to swap out either of these fish. I'm torn between who to keep and who to let go. They all look amazing. The HN looks bland now but I'm told it'll look much more colorful in the future. I like the glow in the dark strips on the green terror. I like the slip body shape of the severum. I don't really know what to do.
I should mention I don't know much about what's out there other then my local aquarium store. I'm looking for some colorful fish to add to the collection who would live in harmony. I'm specifically looking for some bright red or yellow fish with a plethora of colors in between. So basically, can I have my cake and eat it too?
