GBR Male aggression?

[gspille]

I have a pair of GB Rams, a pair of Bolivian Rams, a Bristlenose, 5 Cories, and 5 Pineapple Swords in a 60 gal. My GBR male chases everyone in the tank non-stop now, all except the BN Pleco. I'm sure being cichlids this is normal to a degree. Would there be something I could do to slow him down? Maybe add a schooling fish of some type?

Are the rams a breeding pair?

Not sure how effective target fish will be on a blue ram.

I've never had dwarf cichlids before these. But I'm thinking I may move him into my 75 gal with the dollars and tetras, and see. I'm assuming they're fine as an individual in a community.

Yes, but I did notice that my male blue ram lost color and activity without a female. That being said he was also the one that contributed to her death soo...

I may just move the GBR's in with the Angelfish in my daughter's tank for a while. I know they can co-exist.

What size tank?

It's one of my 55 gal's with 4 angels in it.
