You were probably wise to move the solare out when you put her back. I know with my African cichlids they could get very territorial, but if you took the bad guy out for a while it could break up the pecking order and straighten things out.
HL's aren't usually aggressive, so this is pretty interesting. Not many folks keep hernandesi, and especially with others. Although almost every serious HL keeper I have met keeps many species together. It's just that none of them keep Hernandesi.
So it is a very interesting thing to note for the record. I wonder if in the wild that aggressiveness helps to define species boundaries with hernandesi? Would be very interesting to know about that. Other species share habitat. Coronatum with platyrhinos, Platyrhinos with Mcalli, solare with cornutum, cornutum with modestum, and I have heard cornutum with solare with hernandesi in S. E. AZ.
Anyways, it would be good to take good notes of the behaviors and what you do to manage them.
Although in general it is fine to keep several species together if there is enough room, you might want to consider separating them out for breeding. This is a time when species show the most aggression.
Disease can also be a factor for separation, but since you have had them together so long already it is not likely to be an issue.
