	Dither Fish?
carpe_diem Fish Addict Dreamer Posts: 555 Kudos: 292 Votes: 51 Registered: 18-Apr-2004	my 55g tank currently has 3 peacocks(1 male and 2 females) and 2 other mbunas, one male and one female . the male mbuna is starting to get aggressive as he is trying to become the alpha male in the tank after my peacock male got sick. Now the mbuna just chases and terrorises all the other fish in tank and i was wondering if i could get some dither (i think thats the correct term) to distract him from doing this, or is this really not worth it and should i try adding some other cichlids to the tank? any advice would be appreciated! thanks! Truth doesn't always win friends but it influences them

The best thing to do is take out all the fish, redecorate the tank with lot more rocks and small crevices.Then introduce them and maybe a few more peacocks or mbunas in with them, but remember all at the same time.
