Here's an updated picture on my 55 Gallon Lake Malawi Tank. Changed around some of the rocks and have added/removed some fish. Current stock:
8 unsexed Yellow Labs (Juvies)
6 unsexed Yellow tail Acei (juvies)
3 unsexed Venustus
1 Male Red Empress
1 Male benga peacock
1 Male OB peacock
1 Male Blue Regal Peacock
1 Male Sulphur head peacock
1 Male Electric Blue Hap
1 Male Lemon Jake Peacock
1 Male Otopharynx lithobates
All fish are juvies except the Blue Regal peacock which is about 3 inches. Having lots of aggression in tank even though all the peacocks are males and the yellow labs and yellow tail Acei are supposed to be peaceful Mbuna.Also, every new fish I add gets ick (but only the new fish) so I've been treating ick for the past two weeks with Aquarium salt and an increase in temperature to about 83 F. My questions are: is it normal that the new fish I've added have gotten white spots but none of the old fish that were already in the tank? Also, looking at my current stocking, do you think the aggression will subside over time? Tank has been running just over a month and all fish except a couple are juvies.
