I set up a 1.5 meter aquarium with 40 mbunas with a good filtration and a rock aquascape. I think I achieved the natural environment within the tank thus they are very enjoyable to watch and to keep, I wouldn't choose the word agressive but excited as for their behavior.

Hi Richelle, great video! I appreciate your videos especially the ones on Mbuna. My most peaceful Mbuna would be my Pseudotropheus Acei yellow tails. My Yellow labs are pretty chill also. My most aggressive Mbuna so far would be one of my male Rustys. He is territorial and aggressive especially towards the other rustys. I recently added Kenyi, Red Zebra and Cobalt blue so we will see if one of those become the new tank boss.

"peacefull" for those who have not kept mbuna before, by peaceful she means amongst mbuna family. They are not corydoras peaceful - at least with my experience lol. So long as you are observant of their behaviour on a daily basis and intervene when necessary. I have some aggressive species and when there's a fish being beaten badly I won't remove that fish, I remove the alpha for two weeks and once I return the alpha back into the tank he is no longer the alpha. The downside of this method is that the new alpha can end up being worse but eventually he will either submit to original alpha and on two occasions I found him dead. I experiment around and found the most successful way to tame aggression is to remove the top two alpha for two weeks and rearrange the tank. When I return them back into the tank I do the oppsitite of what experts suggests and will return them early in the day so the entire tank is aware of their return. They will get beat up but within a week or two they return to the top spot. The peace will last for several months before I intervene again. The odd thing is the alphas (red zebra and kenyi) have 3 females each and breed all the time but none of their fry ever survives. The red top hongi and demasoni have quadruple their numbers into adulthood in the 3 years since I set them up. So I've lost two maybe three as I'm unsure if that one died from aggression causing fatal injury or stress. Get them as juveniles and let them grow up together in the tank and remove excess males and you will have a tonne of entertainment with these guys.

I would be interested getting advice on avoiding hybrids during breading. As I understand mbuna are unlikely to cross breed if they are sufficient numbers and look different. I currently have yellow labs and demosoni who pretty much ignore each other and any aggression is usually kept within species. I would like to bring a 3 variant into my tank, do you have any advice... or is 3 species a bad idea. I usually remove holding female to separate holding tank. Main tank is 300l, rocky with fine crushed coral. Thanks.

I have had a handful of African Cichlids over the years... I have an empty 90g that I hope to have running soon, and stocked up by the end of summer. This video will he somewhat helpful, as I won't be stocking the more agressive species in the first batch or two as I have mistakenly done before... My most aggresssive fish have been a large bumblebee, a couple Kenyii , and of course the Auratus that I have had... any Auratus I get in the coming years will either be in a species only tank, or added as small juveniles to a well established community of larger Mbuna. I will definitely let the yellow labs get well established and large before adding any others... likely will do blue ones second, then some others maybe next year... any suggestions on commonly available species that would go good added to a group of yellow labs later? Most of the ones listed here aren't ones I commonly see in my area...

@@amandahepler8582 hi no. currently neons a few other tetras. Use to have peacocks and mbunas. And they hit the sides chasing each other around. But red empress peacock is like a bigger fish. Mine is high sided but think it is like 50-55. Also note that they swim around rapidly and in some cases they don't sit still. The pro cared tanks I think have been tested to get rid of bullies..and might have mostly females..not sure. One good thing is they are hardy fish. Always chasing though.

when you bought your first cichlid before doing propper research (i thought i did, but didn't knew about really agressive mbunas). I ended up with some auratus as one of my first cichlid species. The females are fine but the male is the devil on earth for all my other cichlids. including the female auratusses. they also breed quite often which is kind of a double edged blade. Although the male in my eyesore, his offspring is very peaceful (as far as auratus and African chichlids go). I have a few generations scattered around the tank which just mind there own business. once I even have been able to separate a pregnant female, resulting in 30 youngin'. they were together for quite some time. They even showed schooling behavior and rather little territorial behavior. however i would never buy an auratus again hahaha

​@@QuebecCichlides So I just made a lengthy post and KZbin glitched, erasing everything I had just typed so I will try again... I am putting together a list of Peacocks and Haplochromis to go in my 125g tank. My goal is to keep less aggressive fish that stay in the 5" - 7" range with a few exceptions. My list thus far includes: Lemon Jake, Z Rock, Blue Neon, Ruby Red, Deepwater Hap, Flavescent, Giseel, Lethronops Red Cap, Yellow Benga Sunshine, O.B.s and Yellow Labs. One guy said to take the Yellow Lab off because it was the most aggressive fish he ever had in the tank and it attacked everything. Seriously? Can you please verify that all of those fish grow to be in the 5" - 7" (Maybe 8") range? I'm asking because I had a Mdoka White Lips on the list that a website listed as having a maximum size of 7" but a guy in my fish group said his grew to almost 12" (with photo). People in the Cichlid group also debated over the O.B.s with some saying they were too aggressive and some saying they would be okay in the tank. The biggest debate came from discussing how many fish to put in the tank. I was originally told to put between 20 - 30 Peacocks in the tank. Some people thought this was low and others thought it was very low. One guy said that he would put 100 5" fish in a 125g but that sounds high to me. And I remembered John from KG Tropicals saying to take the number of gallons and divide it in half to get the number of fish to put in the tank. Honestly, that sounds a little high too. So what is the sweet spot? If I just want to put enough fish in the tank to curb aggression, how many should I be looking at? And while I'm asking, can I put multiples of the same type of fish in the tank or should I try to keep them as different as posssible? And just FYI, I'm currently running two SunSun 704B canister fitlers and two large sponge filters on the tank. When I get the ammonia, nitrites and nitrates to 0 PPM, I will start stocking the tank with around 5 fish per month until I get it fully stocked. (And now I'm going to highlight and copy this entire post before I try to submit it.... again.)

With respect to Melanochromis auratus ... there are even nastier ones. ANY Petrotilapia will be a berserker. Then there's Melanochromis chipokae, which is a hardcore aquarium terrorist. All of those I would rate as expert only. Among the other Mbuna that will be well behaved in the aquarium is Pseudotropheus minutus. But be careful with this one, as a beginner can confuse it with the much more aggressive Pseudotropheus elongatus. Make sure you obtain the genuine minutus.

The biggest issue with this video is that you overuse the fish’s technical name and not their common street names. It wouldn’t hurt to speak both names for the fish. Just a suggestion

You are probably not going to like me very much. While a person should have liberty to decide what he (including she) should keep and own. I am, personally, against hybrids or artificial breeds or releasing foreign animals into the "wild" unless there is an important reason to do so, such as fighting malaria. I have successfully kept mean predator or herbivore fish with peaceful fish. Keyhole cichlids with Kribensis & Severum & Convict & Jewel & Ram & Silver Dollar & Black-skirted tetra & Giant Danio & Tiger Barb & Channel cat fish & Venustus without problems. And the Convict pair produced young. Despite my love of peaceful fish, I have a love of both tanks with a combative environment and mean or tough or predatory fish, I have kept Dogtooth cichlid (Tematochromis dhonti), Trahira (Hoplias malabaricus), Red Devil (Amphilophus labiatus), Jaguar cichlid (Parachromis managuensis), Giant Red Killer Snakehead fish a.k.a. Giant Red Killer "channa " (Channa micropeltes), Texas cichlid (Herichthys cyanoguttatus), Ring-tail Pike cichlid (Crenicichla saxatilis) Jack Dempsey (Roco octofasciata), Bowfin or Choupique (Amia calva), Green Sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus), Warmouth (Lepomis gulosus), Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) and Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides) as well as others but not all in the same tank at the same time. I was about 5 to 10 years older than you at that time. The all leads up to the reason I posted; the very mbuna you hate the Golden auratus mbuna (Melanochromis auratus) that I loved. During that time I had breeding pair successfully raising young in a 75gallon long fish tank. This tank also held a male pike mbuna (Melanochromis chopokae), a male Bluegray mbuna (Melanochromis johanni), a male Maingano (Melanochromis cyaneorahbdos), Zebra mbuna (Maylandia zebra), three Kennyi mbuna (Maylandia lombardi), a male Bumblebee mbuna (Pseudotropheus crabo).

I have an electric yellow lab that is very aggressive and runs my whole tank. I'm having a problem with him bullying my Oscars that are still smaller then he is.

That would make sense. Oscars aren't compatible with African cichlids.

Yeah I saw some people being able to do it and some not so I thought I would try. I took the bully electric yellow out and put him in a breeder tank and the Oscar is doing so much better with the other peacocks firemouth and Africans. Actually the whole tank is doing better without the bully electric yellow and they're coloring up now.
