    How many do you have, how long have they been together, and what size tank are they in? Any cichlid will establish a pecking order but things can be done to mitigate it.

    Hello I actually have 10 in my tank and I know that’s a lot for a 55 gallon but I’ve been working really hard to keep it sturdy and the nitrates low they have been together for about a month or two now but weren’t fighting until I recently gave them some live blood worms as a possible treat thank you

    Well there ya go, a small tank thats overstocked. Bring that 10 down to 5, feed them adequately and do water changes.
