The fact remains that if you don't remove it regardless of sex, it is going

And put it where? If these fish feel the need to eat eachother, then
there isn't much I'm going to do about it, short of buying a seperate
tank for every fish that has had it's fins nipped. My 1" zebras stand
up to the jewels just fine, yet I have one wimpy lab. I can't make
special accomodations just for this one fish.

Anyway. the lab finally dug a cave in the sand and it hiding quite
comfortably. I've started a feeding schedule of light feeding 4 times
a day, and now they've all calmed down a little.

I think it'll work out for the little guy.
