Hello all, I appear to have an issue in my 40 gallon breeder. I have a male A. cacatuoides, male A. trifasciata, and a Bolivian Ram with 12 neon tetras. It seems like the A. cacatuoides has claimed the entire tank as his territory. He will chase the Bolivian around but is much worse toward the A. trifasciata. There are many caves/hidey holes, plants, and rocks to break up sight lines and define territories. I've literally watched the cacatuoides swim all the way across the tank to root around in the rock crevasses to chase out the trifasciata.
What, if anything, should I be doing to stop this? Should I just set up a new tank and move the cacatuoides into it? If so would planted 10 gallons be big enough? I don't really want to surrender/rehome him but something needs to happen.
