Male peacock super aggressive :(

Hey guys, I have a 75g peacock/electric yellow African tank anyway a few weeks ago umm my dominate male started breeding with the only female in the tank that all went well i took the female out and now i have the fry in a small tank. In the past few days the dominate male has gone super aggressive his no longer just chasing but biting at every fish in the tank, I thought it might be for breeding reasons but he also goes for the female. He corners all other fish to the corner tops of the tank, the eletric yellows receive less aggression that the others tho. I really dont understand whats going on, and im afraid that over time he will kill off some of the fish.

My thought on solutions:

-take him out
-add in more fish

?

honestly I think its him being the king of the tank. they seem to take a pecking order like kids in kindergarden. just keep an eye on them make sure he isn't literally killing the others.

how many fish in the tank? my 75g is overstocked and that seems to keep the agression down believe it or not..
