Pet Forum / Aquaria / Cichlids / March 2005babies and aggression
The good news- two of our cichlids have had offspring - lots. The bad news - mom and pop are being really territorially aggressive, chasing other fish round the tank. Sometimes you can even hear the thump when they collide with another fish. The tank is around 80 gal. Is this behaviour likely to continue? I'm concerned the other fish may get injured.

Many cichlids become territorial when they start breeding and stay that way for the rest of their lives. I'm guessing this will persist. On the other hand there are species that only stay that aggressive until the babies are removed, eaten or reach a level that no longer requires parental care.
