so I have this full grown male yellow lab, he was peaceful and got bossed around by my big male fuelleborni, but one day he just started chasing and nipping every fish in the tank now my big male fuelleborni eats,sleeps, and does not move from his cave 24-7, however he is at full breeding getup all the time. what should I do?...

I don't think your electric yellow is crazy. I believe hes just asserting his dominance. its very common for a fish to go from bullied to bullier and your male fuelleborni is most likely just staying in his claimed territory now that your yellow lab is now dominant. if you notice the yellow lab chasing fish away from one spot that he tends to stay in then it is most definately just territorial aggression. just give all your fish places to hide and you should be fine.

thank you. he chases everybody away from the entire rock pile in my tank, up into the filter, but it is getting better.

What is the size of that tank? Who are their other tankmates and how many of each species?
