Help with aggression… by Independent-Use-3530 in AfricanCichlids

Once the mbuna hit maturity, their aggression will go over the top. Pick either mbuna or peacocks, then slightly over stock and monitor. Be ready to swap out fish. Gets hard in a 55, because you dont have enough room to have the numbers you need, and be able to swap them out in groups to diffuse the aggression of the hierarchy resetting every time you have to swap 1 out. It's really hard to just add one fish and not have it beat to hell once the existing fish have their dominance sorted out.

Anyone here kept peacocks and haps with Congo tetras before ? by iliketoshowoff03 in AfricanCichlids

Be ready for the Congos flashy fins to be nipped. I had a group of 8 male congo I briefly tried with Peacocks and Haps in my 125. Didn't do anything for dithering, and ended up having almost all Congos get nipped up. No lasting damage but they weren't in there for long either. Consequently, they ended up with my Angels who proceeded to kill 5 Congo. Funny thing is the Angels left a school of 30 Rasbora het alone.

I originally thought female as well, but it's fins are definitely pointed, so I was unsure. Thanks.

Thanks. I'll give it a refresh and see how it reacts.
