Bought three convicts today and realised they weren’t all male, one is female. I haven’t really seen any fighting yet but should I purchase more females to prevent them from harassing the individual female and the males fighting each other?

Would a small delhezi (4.1 inches) be able to cope with 2 mbunas and 2 peacocks? They're each about 3 1/2 to 5 inches.

Thought I'd share a few cheeky shots of my Super Red Dragon (or so it was sold to me as). I also attached a pic from a few months ago when I first brought him home. He's about 5" give or take some now.

Hey everyone! I’m new here but i’ve been reading the threads on this forum for a while. So I think I may have overstocked the aquarium in my excitement for having finally had it set up and now the amonia won’t go under 0.25 ppm. I did a fishless cycle with seeded media from my LFS that lasted...
