I have a 6" hap. obliqudens and all he does is kick the crap out of my red zebra and unknown pink cichlid. Does anyone know a good way to stop their constant fighting? "tHe AnGrYfIsH"

Hi, does your fish have female? because haps become more agressive when the female are ready to spawn. If he does not, he can become agressive too because he don't have conspecific partners for reproduction.
Perhaps, his territory is the all tank and it will chase all intruders. perhaps too, you don't have enough fishes in your tank. That's a lot of responses but it's never simple with high social fishes as the haplochromines.
The bloat can be a bacterian sickness and use an antibacterian medecine.

is your unknown pink cichlid, perhaps, a male red zebra?
