    In the meantime, just blast the tank with powerheads so they waste all their energy fighting the current

      They're ok. I had them and they were fine. Bred twice but never held longer than a week. There's only one male, maybe two.

        If it's only one or two males, it might work out. Just remember that what worked for Josiah may or may not work for you so be ready to isolate any fish that gets too aggressive or too badly torn up. Also, have Metronidazole on hand because treatment has to be quick when needed and it's better to have it on hand. HAW has the ARG brand powder where 1tsp treats 160 gallons so it lasts a while compared to the other brands/caplets, especially if you have a tank smaller than 100 gallons.

            That's probably the two males having their daily pi$$ing contest to see who's top dawg. Keep an eye on the regardless

              Well the ndoles settled down and the alpha male kept everyone else coralled on one side and just picked on everyone so I had to add some more fish to break the agrression So I got about 20 tropheus blue rainbows to add numbers

                  Pay attention though, sp. Red will breed with most Moorii variants so keep an eye on them when the time comes
