Setting up New Tank

[DJRansome]

I would probably try rehoming the one aggressive lab and adding labs. So pretty.

I also found labs to be subject to too many male problems just like the other mbuna.

Possibly holding.

That's a rare sight. Latifascitus with close to perfect stripes.

Congrats!

My solution to aggression. Make them work their butts off to get anywhere. Lol too tired to fight.

So I have 6 zebras and 4 labs left of the original 8/6. So 2 of each has died. I guess not too bad but things appear to have settled down in the tank. I had one zebra that was pretty beat up a few weeks ago but is making a recovery and doesn’t seem to be getting picked on currently. I believe I have 3 male 3 female zebras and that all 3 females are holding. What do you all think.

Especially nice pic of the female. Are you going to rebalance your ratios?

 

[The Morning]

I am unsure on that one. I really don’t want to be overstocking the tank and if the three females are indeed holding that could result in a population boom in of itself.
Those are three different females.

They are going to eat the babies unless you remove them before spitting. I would swap out males for females and keep the overall count at a good place for the tank size.

Worth a try. Ive successfully cohabitated large aggressive cichlids by adding lots of flow, though never on a long term basis.
