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!!

Hi. I'm a new sub. I've had a 75gal mbuna, lake malawi cichlid tank and I'm usually dealing with aggression. I love your idea. And I will try out the ones I haven't tried. Thank you so much for the great video and i look towards watching more

Love the content and back round music! I just upgraded to a 140 gallon tank for my 14" Fire eel. I have around 30 mixed Mbunas and plan to add around 30 more.

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.

yer awesome! I learn something new every time I tune in :] you are my go-to girl when I'm having an issue I can't figure out. thanks for all that you do!

Cool video. Early congrats on 6K subs

Wow awesome info from aus, following, thanks

Great stuff...thank you!

Love your videos on Malawi Ciclids 😊

great video as always! really helping me with my new mbuna tank :)

I just send my fish into time-out until they behave. Oh wait, that's my kids.

good ideas, thank you

Great as always. I'm currently setting up a Mbuna tank, I've been getting groups of six, once a month, on my second of three sets. Each time I'm re-setting the rock scape and that seems to be working. Then I'll be setting up my Peacock/hap tank the same way.

I enjoyed watching and learning from your videos... Keep it up

Great video and this video is so helpful for me. Thank you for this video.

I have been loving your videos! All the best from Saskatoon 🙂

Hello, I am from Ecuador in South America, I love your videos. Can I send you a picture of my new mbuna aquarium? If you can give me some advice, I will appreciate it!

No matter what I do my dragon blood won’t stop harassing all my peacocks

My cellphone said "pling" one a clock in the middle of the night here in sweden now ,i woke up and see YYEEAAAH,a new clip from the gorgeous woman,feelt to sleep with happy thoughts to save it for breakfast😊,u should do a video about ur day to like this is my shop,from morning to night,sending some love and hugs through all the cables to u😂,keep going💪

I had the same problem so they had beaten up a couple of my cichlids one really bad I put both of them in hospital tanks to heal up for about five weeks. 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

Nice video Richelle,i subscribed to your channel n°6011.....thank you.

You rock!! Great video!!

Great video good info😊👍

Mam I have been lived 2 cichilds fishes in my tank one fish is biting to another fish (there is any solution)

Can you keep Mbuna with Tropheus? (assuming same size) Very informative video!

What’s your thoughts on keeping peacocks and Haps but having both males and females? I’m thinking about buying them as juveniles and it’s hard to always get males.

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?

I have just 2 Siamese algee eaters in my tank ,one is bullying the other doesn’t let it eat and so it hides and sometimes is shaking , the bully fish is growing while the other is staying the same I am waiting on some plants to be delivered ,also have few plants in there . 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 . I am worried about adding more fish just in case it will bully them .

Currently having issues with my Neolamprologus brichardi. Large Male was courting a female but next morning he is chasing her far out of his territory and even invading my N. savoryi's cave and booting him out too. He is being a proper problem. Not sure on how to fix this issue but I will try the methods talked about in this video. Thankyou!

I have peacocks Mbundu and three lake Tanganyika all in one tank. I got them all from a pet store were they all came from the same tank. I must have luck out no aggression problems. But I should’ve watched some videos before I purchased any fish my mistake I counted on the pet store to give me some advice.

Thanks for the vid Fish goddess😍✌

Great video Richelle, I'm struggling with Venustus, I put 3 different Venustus and I need to removed them because are the most aggressive fish

If a do a water change will the aggression stop

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

Great video you are the best Love you

may i ask, why is 1 of my jellybean chasing one jellybean cichlid and my 2 blue pollar parrot chasing each other and chasing 2 of my jellybean parrot, pls help, idk who is male or female :at all :/

Can i kept oscar with vieja chichlid

I have mbunas haps and Victorian cichilds recently had to rehome my Labino Mbuna he was being so mean and nasry towards the others i tryed seperation ect didnt work so rehoming him was my only option.

I have a male and a female Kribensis, when breeding they are monsters! I have to remove everything that moves in there tank or they will bully them to death! What can I do? Can I separate them and just keep males together? What can I put with a male Kribensis as a show piece fish? Angle fish?

Please make a video on albino rabbit eyed chichilid..I mean snow chichilid.your videos are very nice.I am an Indian...your pronunciation is awesome.

Have ass peacock tank 75 gal. Complete blue with black trim cichlid I have that is a bully to some and biting have about 8 in tank with few big rock in center

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 😂😂)

I do everything you talked about. Other than I do keep convict cichlids with my Africans. They do very well but I wouldn't recommend it for everyone. Mine are use to hight ph 8.5 from tinny little wigglers. I haven't had any aggressive activities since I removed all the females. You should take a look some time it's a pretty chilled out tank.

Do you guys buy fish? I know you probaly don’t but I have 8 mbuna and I wanted to start a saltwater aquarium

What was the idem she said for fixing fins ????

My electric yellow mbuna very agressive, he keep on chasing the other yellow mbuna 😭😭

Legitimate question. The difference between cichlides and cichlid (or cichlids)???

Yes they chase each other 24/7 and hit the sides they move so fast they are hard to view.

I stick my Big old hand in the tank and chase around the Bully .. then help out the bullied. I use my Giant Hand to Bully the bully, giving the bully some medicine .I never touch them just Move towards them and chase them away it sort of the same behavior the bully is doing minus contact.

Starting at the 8:40 mark F-F-F 😂😅🤣😆

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.

Friends 😏

Loved it!🤣🤗💙🐟💙

do jellybean cichlid dwarf parrot fish change gender?

I like your zebra cactus
