I just went through this as well. My Lyretail group is going on two years together now with one male and 3 females. About a month ago the biggest female which is now bigger than the male started challenging for dominance. They were fighting all the time. I just let nature take it's course because the tank is big and there was no way I could get one out anyway. They both would up looking pretty scraped up, the male looking worse. I thought he would die. To my surprise he came back and beat the big female and won back dominace. She is still bigger than him but things seem to be back to normal now with the original male in control of the group. The female outgrew him simply because she eats anything and he has always been pickier, only eating certain frozen. Anyway, good luck with your fish. How long have you had them?
