Well, it's finally happened, after a little over 3 years. My cichlids have gone wild and just want to beat the crap out of each other. It all started with my GT wanting to beat up my Midas, and my Midas inflicting some damage on the GT--which is becoming more and more severe every day. Strangely enough, my Midas is not being aggressive, but he is holding his ground, with ease I must say. As calm and regal my GT has been after all these years, he's literally flipped his lid. He's out for blood, but a bit late I suspect, as my Midas has easily outgrown him.
Now my severums, which serve as dithers, want to beat the crap out of each other too! They were the fish intended to take the damage, and until this day, never have. The only fish that aren't fighting (yet) are my loaches and pleco. It's literally a warzone in my tank now! It's not like any or all of them just hit puberty...they are all sexually mature.
I guess I'll break out the buckets and head up to the LFS tomorrow. *sigh*
