Dithers for Red Devil?

[AR1]

I recently posted a thread about my pacu being aggresive to my RD, but it seemed like it was just trying to play and has left it alone.However my RD is still hiding in the cave and rarely comes out. Its been three days since i brought it here. It does occasionally come out to give my pacu a chase but returns shortly after seeing me. So i was thinking that adding dithers will help, but which one? They shouldn't be small enough to get eaten by my pacu or snakehead.

If this is referring to your overcrowded pond, I doubt that adding more fish will help.

HELP!

I recently added a snakehead and a red devil/midas cichlid to my pond. At first,the pacu and RD were best of buddies but now the pacu is chasing my RD and trying to nip its tail. Its become extremely aggressive and chasing off both of them. What should I do

um my pond is definitely not overcrowded and the fish are all living in peace now. There was some some trouble at the start of adding the RD, but not anymore.

In the wild, mature Amphs are typically cave dwelling fish. I would recommend leaving it be, and enjoying the peace while it lasts.

Pacu don’t play - when it comes to how they view tankmates, the only difference between them and their piranha cousins is blunt teeth and an extra 2 feet.
Any dither you add will be food for something in the pond.

What about silver dollars? they get medium sized and my pacu has lived with them before without causing any problem.
