Juvi Gold Severum + 2 Angels

[QuotheRaven]

My Juvi gold severum is aggressive towards the angels (the Golden is only new) will his aggression stop if he gets some terratory or no? Any suggestions or tips if you wish for me to be more specific just ask

Any time you are dealing with n.w. cichlids you should have a divider handy. I would start with that, then after a while leave a little gap, while keeping an eye on the tank.

bugger I don't have a divider I moved the severum to a 32 gal for safety reasons any other ideas?

Build one, I haven't bought one yet, but have several; http/www.gcca.net/howto/tank_divider.htm

It's showing it's dominance.. sometimes it will stop, other times they will continually harrass the other fish.. sometimes moving around ornaments in the tank can get them to focus on that rather then fighting.

a year ago when istarted my tank i had 3 severum juveniles and 3 angels.
the severums beat on the angels and i ended up getting rid of the angels.
hold onto gold severums as they seem to be worth abit in my area. my two at only 6" sold for £30.
if you ask me severums will never go with angels.you here all this crap about severums being really peacefull. my male was evil. it bite me loads and even drew blood a few times, he bullyed about the green terror in my avater, even though he was 2" larger, and also a male.
most of the people who i know have kept severums say their overly aggressive too.
severums will grow quicker than the angels so if you divide them theyl still get bigger and still see the angels as inferiors.
