Ok so you cant have the hap. Obliquedens bc you dont wanna mix lakes. Trust me it ends up within a few months you having to and i quote buy a big girl tank.. (meaning a 6ft long tank) to keep the aggression down.
Also it says their diet has been known to consist of scales of other fish .. which will cause a problem
okay can I then get 4-5 red top zebras???? I hvae 15 mins :S
Cichlid Profiles is that the right fish i am looking at? it says its aggressive and then highly aggressive towards its kind...

Thats the red top zebra yes.. i was talking about the hap. Obliqueden you mentioned but the aggression is why you can have the red top zebra..
okay so I think i am getting the red top zebras..... I want aggression? I do already have zebras in my tank and is that why i want the aggrresion? I dont think i get to pick if they are male or female either I just hope the supplier will give some females maybe. How many shoudl I get??

Umm nope sorry tht was supposed to say cant have them bc of aggression ..
.................. I dont know what to do!! I have like 5 mins... there is none to pick then
for the red blotch zebra i have it says its aggressive and kills its own kind if its all males. It also says it will kill the weakest fish in the tank

To be all honest here the zebras may not get along and the peacocks would probably be a better choice with what you have now.
okay what peacock should i get and how many???

Ob can be very mean or not or mild. Some can get away.with them and others not so much. If your going to try the red tops you need to get enough of them and add more of what you have now. To spread out aggression between them all

Ok I would only get two or three of one of the peacocks. And add a few more of the others. If it was me I'd go for a little more blue and orange
okay what if i got 2 sunshine yellow peacocks and make it so I have 6 yellow labs (add 1) and get another cobalt blue???

That's a lot of yellow but any of the combos of the fish you have +sunshine will work.
