Large male populations.

[Hawkins_Mbunas]

I wanted to see what you other keepers have to say on this topic. I have a nearly all male Mbuna tank with tons of sight breaks and territory caves. I have had no problems with aggression and had no deaths from fighting. I do have a couple females in with them and even have one female holding. Not sure who the daddy is. I was wondering what experience other keepers have with large male populations. It's supposed to be a bad idea but I totally disagree. You just need enough territory for all the males to stake claims and chase each other out in temporary cave take overs. By the way this only a 55 gallon tank. Let me know you guys think about this topic.

I have had plenty of over stocked African tanks all did well never really had problems other then when there was new ones introduced
I get baby's all the time clearly hybrids not to many make it with the tilapia and other African fish in the tank
I even do the same over stocking with peacocks and electric blues with great success and breeding
