AFRICAN CICHLID AGGRESSION: CAN IT BE STOPPED??

[@erick6102]

Good plan Adam. I think you have started a good trend with the big fake plants in AC tanks. Hiding spots are key for subdominant males as well for those who try to keep multiple males in same tank.

Thanks eric I appreciate it

[@BenOchart]

I have kept my tank just under 80f and will move decor around as part of a water change. I use plants and rock formations to break line of sight so a harassed fish can get a break. Fortunately my boss/beast, the venustus, has only targeted one fish, a polystigma and that battle is over. Otherwise he tends to be mellow and will break up fights when they start between other fish, like the tetrastigma and the T Reef.
Love the plants!

I like the look of the tank buddy I bet you don’t lol you are absolutely right on that I mix up my tank decor all the time I see you have a bunch of fry to that’s awesome there beautiful fish

[@adamc7918]

Thank you Ry I appreciate it. Yes I've had an explosion in fry lately of all different species. It has been raining here non stop for like a week so I've kept the windows open to let the low pressure in. They always breed in that low pressure

Excellent video, thanks for posting. Subscribed.

Thank you very much

[@georgeskondras1513]

If you're going to have more than one male in a species tank.. I always find it's better to have three then just two.. that way that subdominant male doesn't always get beat on

[@adamc7918]

Agreed. Always on the lookout

[@adamc7918]

Thanks frank, one day I do plan on discus

[@floridafishorry6995]

Its funny when you add a rock or move it and all the fish in the aquarium start swimming around it to investigate 😂

[@adamc7918]

Haha yep

[@damonkelly5318]

Unfortunately aggression is part of the hobby. Those are good tips to try and curb it.

[@jimmyhoac7]

The best way is just keep one fish

[@1984Assen]

Add Some more males, i hold aulonocara in groups like 4-5m 6-8F all males full color and no fighting 😁

[@adamc7918]

Yes I'm on the lookout
