Need an aggression solution

Thanks Kay-bee! I love answers with pictures!

Good, I was worried I may have stunted them or something because my one acei (about 1.5 yrs old, accounting for before I got them too) is probably pretty close to 5" and dwarfs everyone is the tank! Him and everyone else seemed to stop growing about 6 months ago so I am glad to hear that they don't grow as fast when they get older. I am excited to see how large that acei will grow to!!!

I guess when you have fry that grow to nearly 2" in 4 months it makes it seem like something is wrong with the adults for not doing the same.

Also as for Africans go the actual size depends on the fish with genetics as well as what Kay-Bee said, some fish will remain smaller some will out grow their normal size and some will attain actual size really as long as they hit the ballpark area of around an inch or more i would say they are fine unless you have them in a 1gal than i would understand stunted growth, usually fish will grow larger in size in their natural habitat but when it comes to a false environment like a tank who knows what actual size they will end up at..
