My trifasciata are not getting along at all, I was wondering if some target fish might ease the tension. I have 2 10g tanks and each tank has 2 trifasciata, I think each tank has 1 male and 1 female, but I'm not certain yet.

Would some target fish ease the tension a little? Suggestions?

I have lots of java moss in each tank some driftwood and a few terracotta pots for hiding places. I'm not having much luck with these fish. I took the most aggressive male back to the lfs and I still am having problems.

farm41,
Even though I don't like dithers in the tank very often, they sometimes defer the aggression away from the other apisto. If you have pairs in the tank, a lot of times the aggression is a normal sizing up of prospective mates. Trifasciata shouldn't kill each other in this process. But keep your eye on them. Unless there is severe fin shreading of relentless chasing, I would let it go. The tides will probably change.
