Fighting Zebra....getting Very Rough

[Cheffi]

Have 4 estherae in the tank. Had a female holding for couple of weeks until one of the others started bullying her and she probably swallowed them or they ended up as food for the others.

I've just seen her and the bully mouth to mouth, chasing each other over tank, biting each others sides. This isn't the first time its happened but this was the nastiest. Normally they stay at opposite ends of the tank. I'm assuming the bully is male. Is this 'normal' behaviour or do I have problem and might have to move one of them out?

you could try re scaping maybe it will calm them down

Gaz since they first started this behaviour I've moved the rocks around a couple of times. I thought it was the males that got terratorial not the girls.
