I've always had the best luck to mitigate aggression the same way you do and have it overstocked. I also had a few losses in the past 6-7 months and more aggression set in, then got a few more additions myself and it solved it! I really like the Bicolor, but then again I'm always more attracted to the blue/yellow mix in fish lol. Good luck with the new cichlids and great unboxing video, Troy! 👍
Thank you! It is African Cichlid substrate from Carib sea. One of the options is a crushed shell mix. I don’t think we’re going to make it to Aquashella Daytona unfortunately. Busy schedule for us
Love the whole thing, the established population, and the newbies - brilliant! I often wonder what becomes of the gals? I don't mean personally - it's just never mentioned by any of online Malawian presenters.
Thanks! I’ve only bought males. Lessens aggression without breeding or fighting for the females. I’d probably only get females if I intended to have a breeding group
Great Video. I too am having issues with serious aggression in one of my 75 Gallon African Cichlid tanks right now and I need to do something pretty quick. I have a Tank Boss, Regal Blue Peacock that is absolutely beautiful, but he is a real turd to the rest of the fish. He keeps everyone on the right side of the tank, and beats them up if they come to the left side. My Sunshine Peacock that is forced to the right side chases the rest of them to the left side and then the Regal Blue chases them back to the right. I've got 6 peacocks in this tank right now, and I think that I need to add 4 more. Been thinking about adding some larger fish to try and calm things down a bit, but I'm also at a point where my normal quarantine tank is currently being used to grow out some smaller fish, so I'm going to have to do the same thing that you just did. I'm thinking about doing a couple of nonpredatory haps. My two tank bosses are at 5"+ right now. Kent

I agree, it’s always a good thing to try and overstock Africans a little to bring aggression down. Good luck with your new fish!
Beautiful addition to the 135g! Thanks for sharing Troy. What shells did you get for your substrate? Also, any word on Aquashella Daytona ??!

Love this tank! How red is that new one? I am trying to fine the most red peacock or hap. On camera he looks great.
Thanks! He’s got the best red color of any cichlid I’ve seen in person. Pumped to have him!
That German almost made me convert from American to African haha almost lol.
Haha do both!
👍👍👍
Nice fish :)
2 Lwanda's are better than one 🎉
Can’t agree more
Get a 60 gallon breeder instead of the 40
Would have to rebuild stands, so idk
