Why would one parrot fish attack all the other fish in the tank?

There are no visible eggs and the parrot fish also lost his color. There are 3 other parrot fish in the tank along with 2 silverbacks and one bigger fish. The one parrot fish wouldn’t allow anyone else to come to his side of the tank. Should we remove him?

Parrot Cichlids, like all other Cichlids, are territorial. It’s like that this particular fish is just maturing, and began to stake his claim to his territory in the tank. Whether or not he should be removed depends on the size of your tank– the more room available, the less the need to remove him.
