Dragon Blood African Cichlid Scarred | Tank Wars

One of my male dragon bloods has sustained some serious injuries from the bigger male. It has been hiding away during the day, but I just spotted it this evening swimming closer to the top of the tank. I had previously separated it but the battles continued even when it was in the net. I decided to release it and I discovered it has gone through a lot. I’m praying it survives. I also recently had a death in the tank one of my female “black beauties” (can’t remember the name - will update once I get it back). It was severely bitten around the tummy. Days later I found it floating dead (too bad).
Let me know any thoughts in the comments below.
