Haha I am so sorry for the long story I wrote. I understand how you feel I was the same when I started and nothing made sense to me so I unfortunately learned a lot of things the hard way
, You could definitely pull off putting him on his own but I would just be concerned about him stressing on his own.. Unfortunately cichlids are very emotional fish and do stress quite easily which makes them unpredictable. Donât worry at all youâre not being overly sensitive youâre just being a kind person and a good fish keeper
in youâre case to stop the bully youâd probably have to move him out. But the other cichlid? well if itâs a male then you might end up with a new bully who then attacks the mollies, itâs very trial and error really so itâs probably best to try moving the bully fish out and then seeing how the others react without him. Always remember to cycle the new tank and Iâm sure we can all help with that aswell!
