Sometimes things like this happen with any sized cichlids I keep two green Severum in a 125 no issue
In keeping multiple cichlids if found that tank layout is important they must have individual territory they claim sometimes this means making your tank not look as pretty and adding or removing hardscape
Also just as important is the timing of adding the fish
Currently in my tank the overall boss is a female electric blue acara 3inchs smaller than the Severum and half the weight I put this down to knowing there place in a way the Severum were bought at 1.5-2inches in size and grew up in a tank with adult fish and an established hierarchy
Even so there cichlids and this could all change at any time
I would look to rehome one of the sevs to be honest
