I have a problem!! Please anyone help?
i have a 65litre fish tank with 3 parrot fish in it.About 2inches big
with them i have an african jewel which is about 2-3inches big. i bought the African jewel 3 weeks ago and it was really calm and peace full. now all of a sudden it is chasing my parrot fish and nipping at the back of their fins .. im really worried!! what can i do to either get it to be less aggressive or to stop biting the others?: S
Some fish do that. Seperate the aggressive fish and put him in a suitable container (another tank or plastic tupperware box) for a few days. He should miss his companions after that, so then put him back in. He should calm down. If not, buy another tank for him.

Blood parrots?
They are very gentle cichlids (mine are at least ...)
They are best kept with other gentle fish.
The jewel, I would give him to a pet store. Or rearrange your tank to reduce territory issues.
Edit-Nevermind, your tank is too small thats your problem.
