FishWatcher Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hi All, I am new to Cichlids and started off with a Green Terror. Today I added: 1 x Fire Mouth 1 x Texas 1 x Arcana Blue The Green Terror and the Arcana since being together are lip wrestling. I read up on about it and it said it could be Territory, courting, dominance, female in the tank. The tank is 220L and the Cichlid's are between 5-7cm, there is also a bristle-nose in there so heaps of space. Its to aggressive to be courting from my observations, I can see the lip locking area is bruised. I want to rule out female is there any way to identify a male to a female Cichlid? I turned off the lights hopefully they get some sleep and don't continue on fighting through out the night. Does anyone have methods which has helped there Cichlid with aggression? Thanks heaps!

livingart Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Try taking the green terror out then reintroduce after an hour or so, when introducing territorial fish can help to any territorial tankmates out and move rockwork around sp the old territory is not the same .

FishWatcher Posted September 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 @livingart Hey thanks for the reply. I woke up this morning and everything looks to be okay. No aggression I guess Arcana blue won the dominant battle. The green terror just is following him around. Happy days livingart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
