I have 4 misc. African Cichilid (two electrick yellow) in my 20G long tank, recently I've discovered my white cichilid is grew a lot bigger than any other fish, he started to get extremly towards other cichilids, chasing them and nipping their fins, even they're not close to him. Its frustrating me to see my other fish living a unhealthy life, what do you guys think that might be causing this problem? capacity? or maybe thats just the way they are...my two electric yellow are really friendly, but ever since they're being chased by the white guy, one of my little electric yellow hides in the plant 24/7, he doesn't come out unless shes hungry...I don't really want to give the white cichilid away because I had him since he was a baby lol...help?

Do you know the species of the white one? This would help, the little I know about cichlids is that you really need to know your species otherwise this will happen. The white cichlid probably needs a bigger tank and thinks the whole tank is his territory, cichlids are very territorial as you know and this is what is probably happening. Gunnie knows more about cichlids, if you get a pic she might be able to give you a ID and help you out some.
