"Dealing With Aggressive Tropical Fish"," A lot of cichlid species are known to be aggressive and as a caretaker of these fish, you should be able to learn how to deal with their extreme aggression.
One distinct trait they have is the way they fight for their territory especially when spawning.
They are carnivores so smaller fish can be one of their preys.
The Lemon Cichlid is usually peaceful but it can react if there are too many fish in the tank.
The first thing that you have to do is to keep the same size of cichlids together.
If they fight, it's so obvious that the smaller fish will get injured or even worst, it can die.
Surprisingly, cichlids are very unreceptive towards their own species or other fishes that somewhat look like them.
Avoid keeping aggressive tropical fish that have identical color or markings.
Also, be very careful when putting together cichlids with the same markings.
Aggression is already part of a cichlid's characteristic.
