I'm thinking about trying to breed Puedotropheus or Libidochromis. How can I make them not kill each other?

Re: May be Trying Demasoni Again
Buy a bunch of Demasoni. I've heard that 12-15 is the minimum number to keep aggression down. For monomorphic cichlids a large school is a good way to keep aggression in check, or you could vent them and get a good male to female ratio.So many things can be a mystery, when all we're seeking is freedom...

Re: May be Trying Demasoni Again
Agreed: buying in large groups always helps reduce aggression levels.
A few other things that may help with aggression:
-getting a larger tank
-adding dither fish like giant danios or rainbowfish
-rearranging decor whenever adding new fish
-providing as many "caves" for the males as possible
-performing large water change whenever adding new fish
-keeping lights off when adding new fish and leaving 'em that way for the night
-not feeding immediately afterward
Are you planning on keeping Ps. demasoni and the Labidochromis in the same tank or by themselves, or the demasoni by themselves? Either one would be fine...
What size tank would you be putting them in?Scarecrow : I haven't got a brain... only straw.

Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.Comment
