Hi, i have a 500L tank with 2 P. socolofi {blue powder mbuna} in , a pleco and an a young iridiscent shark{temporarley}
Iv just added the second socolofi today and immediatly noticed what i think is courting behavior between them.
I really dont want them to lay eggs or breed and wanted to ask for any advice on how to prevent this
thank you!

The only prevention is a all male Mbuna aquarium.

Let the moms spit the babies in the tank...the adults will eat them. How long is the tank? You could keep 2 females to avoid spawning.

You don't want 2 males or one of each as this is not likely to work. The one male will kill a lone female or the other male and you risk your fish getting sick.
