| Ok guys i have a 90 g with Haps/Peacock/ and 2 Fonts right now. I would like to add some mbuna, victorians, and other lakes to it. I am going just a mixed good looking tank. all the fish i have now are male and i need it to stay that way. I need help finding good colors and not too aggressive fish since the fish i have now are pretty calm. Any help on fish would be great. Again i just want it to look good since it will be my show tank. Thank you. | |

| Demasoni's are mostly aggressive to their own kind, for the most part they seem to leave others alone. Saulosi are pretty much the same. If you are going all male, there are some awesome Mbuna's out there, but they are "suppose" to be aggressive. In my personal opinion, if you overstock the tank and provide enough hiding spaces, the aggression is very minimum. We have haps, peacocks, and mbuna's in our 75 and there is little to no aggression simply because we have so many fish and tons of hiding places. But. . some of my favorite colorful fish. . .

Victorians won't color up until they are in their spawning colors. Chances of them doing that in an all male tank is slim. They need females to color up and show off; without females they have no motivation to show their true color potential. Yellow labs have a nice yellow color. Jalo Reefs have the great blue and black stripe pattern and yellow fins. Red Zebras are very aggressive, so are bumble bees. I have those two in my 75 together. I would pick either labs or zebras though, mixing them usually means the zebras will slowly harrass the labs to death. | |

| I would stay away from vics they would defiantly get killed and not color much at all. |
