Recently posted some pics of my babies and who I thought the parents were. The babies are a bit larger now and perhaps easier to identify. I also had to change around my tank due to fish territories. If the lights are on both the white scofoli and the red zebra try to kill lab.

Is there something I can do to get these fish to live together or...
am I a bit overstocked with dominant males?
is there something I don't know about structuring territories?

Thanks,

Yep that batch is definitely the young of the socolofi, and the lab. BUT it looks like you very well might have the next batch being with the zebra as the dad... assuming the socolofi wants the most dominant male....
 
So, what should I do? My Yellow Lab has always been my favorite fish due to the color and personality. I have thought about finding my Red Zebra a new home which isn't much of a problem. I have also thought about taking the following back:
Red Zebra (both)
Compressiceps
German Red Peacock (1)

Perhaps adding:
Yellow Lab female
Male Socolofi

If I did that, I would lose two males and perhaps have more peaceful tank. Any thoughts on how that would play out?

Thanks,
 
Nice,how big is the tank?If you have the room ,Id keep the peacock and get a few more labs,sell the zebras and the socolofi.That would make for a more peaceful tank.
 
ddyerfamily thats for the comments and gomezladdams I like that idea. Those Zebras are extremely territorial, well just the big one. The little one has to be some sort of hybrid he is tiny and just hangs out. For some reason no one has ever messed with him.

I'll keep everyone posted on what I do...
 
oh sorry the tank is a 75 gallon...I have had those fish since they were close to the same size as the babies...
