Hi, firstly this is the african cichlid section, but dont worry, Im sure a mod will move it.

How many GBR's do you have? What size tank are they in? Do you know your water param's please?

They are probably just having a dispute over territory, you need to make sure you have plenty of plants and caves to ensure they have enough space to call their own.

Are they being aggressive or just chasing?

How many do you have in there? Its recommended one ram per 10 gallons.

Edit, just seen your other thread in 'new to the hobby' which says you have 5.

To be honest, that is too many for a 70 litre tank. I assume you plan to get a pair and then re-home the rest? If you dont, then the pair will relentless harrass the others to the point of being so stressed they would die.

As for the chasing, if it is a m/f pair that are racing around the tank with each other, then I would guess they may be pairing up. Get ready to rehome the others.
