Damage to hongi

[AmyKieran]

I have attached several photos to this thread of the damage to my hongi. I have a African cichlid tank and I’m finding that my red jewel is picking on the red top hongi. I have noticed some damage to the scales on the side of the fish. Any advice to this?

Jewel Cichlids can just be mean. You need to give the other as much protection as you can. Give the Jewel Cichlid an area he can call his own.
