A few things. In arranging (or rearranging) rocks and other decorations, disrupt the line of sight from one area (end of tank) to the other. Use flower pots with the open mouths facing the two rear corners of the tank. Use more rock caves in the middle of the tank. Always use females at a 3 to 1 ratio with each male to disperse his attention. Overfeeding reduces active aggression. And needless to say your tank has to be big enough to accomplish this. I have found that isolating an aggressive fish to rehabilitate him is an old wive's tale you can still find repeated in the literature, though isolating a harassed fish can rebuild their health and add size.

Nice video with the advise that can help!!!About me and my Malawi cichlid tank I bought my first fish in a young age and they formed day by day,week after week a school and when they got bigger I added some more at the same size or little bigger and then I got a real school,they swim together,they eat together and the more they do is just chase each other time to time with no harm done!!!I overstock,I feed the right food in small amounts as possible I turn the lights on only 4 hours from 7 pm to 11 and I think that all this routine makes them act well and they are happy,active and they respect each other!!

Changing the landscape @ night just a little & adding the fish can help. Put your alpha in a time out box. I envy your opportunities to enjoy the hobby on a much larger level. What you've probably already found out is that customers with endless questions & no intent on buying along with hundreds of gallons & tanks to clean can suck the joy out of some of your love for the tropical industry. It always helped for me to keep a large personal tank in the store that could be appreciated by all but not any of them would be for sale. Save the joy & excitement for yourself everyday with that tank & it will help the years stay filled with love for these fish. Be blessed.

@@QuebecCichlides Don't laugh! I actually pulled my big bully out of the display tank and sent to the quarantine prison. He was not happy to say the least. The dynamics of the display tank changed completely while he was gone. The fish were allowed to swim anywhere they wanted. They looked so happy swimming freely. After 2 weeks of solitary confinement, I put the bully back in the display tank. At first he looked a little lost and his tank mates didn't pay much attention to him. All was good for a while until he started re-establishing his dominance. However, it is much better than it was before.

Bought a 20 gallon tank took the two aggressive cichlids out move them to their new home rearranged the main tank a little bit not a whole lot put the fish that were in the hospital tank that were beaten up back in the main tank and the aggression has calm down quite a bit. It’s been a lot of trial and error some fish have died because of mistakes I’ve made a couple from being just stressed out being picked on. Anybody that thinks keeping fish is easy It’s not

Not to mention taking the tank completely apart cleaning it Replacing the saying things like that. Then the second stupid thing I did was buying a used sump A nice one that came with a filter sock I should’ve threw the filter sock away even though I washed it it poisoned and killed three beautiful fish I mean within less than two hours turned almost pale white dead.so yeah it’s been a learning experience but I’m also proud that I saved quite a few of them.

An interesting thing you mentioned about how a dominant fish will share his cave in time of danger had me wondering how a dead fish found his way into the bullies cave. I've always wondered how a dying fish managed to wedge himself under a rock before dying. I recently found out how. His tank mates, namely the big bully, will wedge him into his cave. My last dead fish was so deeply wedged under a rock that I could not pull him out without removing the rocks. Has anyone else observed this behavior?

So now I placed a divider between them ,at the first the bully wasn’t happy was jumping swimming like crazy but now after couple of days it settled while the other one is more relaxed and got it’s colour back and eating .

Greetings, I have a question. Im not really new to fish keeping as ive had fish my whole life but im new to african cichlids as I have only had a dolphin for about 4 months a 2nd dolphin for about 2 months both in the same tank . One is about 3.5 inches and the ohter about 2.5 . I have 1 sunshine peacock about 1.5 inches in a separate tank and im getting 2 juvenile dragon bloods and 2 tangerine tigers in the mail tomorrow. My goal is to have them all together so I can start a reef tank . My question is is the 3.5 and 2.5 inch dolphins already to big to add the 1.5 -1.75 inch peacocks . Should I just keep the peacocks separate in the other tank or is it safe to add all 5 of the smaller ones now before they get bigger so they can be " friends" im aware to watch for signs of bullying and agression i just want to make sure they are big enough that the dolphins wont eat them

I have kept mixed Mbuna and peacock tanks for a while in different tanks over the years yes it can be done but sometimes you need to use every trick in the book to manage the aggression apart from adding Valium so would I do it again yea, would I recommend it to a beginner hell no. The other thing to watch is the Aquarium temps if there is to much general aggression and you have room in your temperature range to do so try lowering the temperature a touch. Also with the pH I add Calcium Carbonate (Limestone) to one of the external filters just start in small amounts and monitor the pH mine sits stable at a pH of 7.4 with about 7 pieces of around 3 inches in a 450 Litre tank and hardly moves with water changes but as I said start in small amounts and monitor the pH as your starting pH and Limestone Nutralising values will be different than mine (and yes that’s Nutralising with an S and Litres 😂😂)

The best idea is to get them all when they are 1" or smaller and grow them out together. Always get more than u need it is small so it is much cheaper anyway. Once they reach 4"-5" start thinning your stock and keep the best one u like. I do this all the time and save a lot of money this way or even make my money back selling those fish. This will guarantee a peaceful aquarium but please don't sell your 1st 2nd or 3rd tank boss even if they don't look beautiful.

Here's why I'm infuriated at the fish industry. I can buy a pair of cichlids from my local fish store but it turns out the male is harassing the female so I realize I need more females to dissipate the aggression. Alas "these fish are not easy to find!" the local fish store informs me, so I'm off to search on the internet but, if I'm lucky, the only option is to buy a bunch of unsexed adolescents and "hurry up! The stock is low!". Will they grow up to be all males? Who knows! And why some of them are deformed? Because they were inbred.
