I think i have once again a fish that is holding dont know for defo yet but i think it is. In the last few weeks i have lost 2 fish, they both looked like they had been through the wars a bit, the day or so before i found them dead. Could this be because of there being 4 fish of the same type that the more agresive fish killed them ? Thats how it looks from what i have seen. Warter is fine and i have 11 over fish that are all in very good condition . Plus i also have 8 fry growing very well in a holding net . Which are from the last fish that was holding few more weeks and they will be let out with the rest . The two out of the four that are left in the tank have changed a lot in colour become a lot more bright . any ideas Many thanks Gary

tank size is 48"x 18"x18" the fish are lake malawi and i think i have 7 females to 4 males but one of them could still be a male its two young to tell not showing any signs of being a male yet its a little smaller than the rest
Out of the total 11 i have left 4 looked like this

I now have this one and one just like it that i think is holding eggs the 2 others which are now dead looked just the same as this pic but a little smaller they has been a bit of pushing and pulling (mouth to mouth) from the 2 bigger fish, but i did not think they would kill each other . :(
