cjerrom Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 They will hammer the others until they either injure them or kill them no matter what size the other fish are. Best way is to remove all fish for now. Has the male developed a large lobe on his forehead and has its body pattern changed substantially? All signs he's ready to breed and the aggression will really escalate! 20" fish can do a lot of damage quickly. The others could jump out to their death to avoid the attacks so please move them quickly as they will get worse/nastier when the fry appear!

CORVETTE Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 love to see some pictures of this set up. how long have you been keeping monster fish? is there any division in the tank to make the breeding pair more comfortable in one area of the tank?
