See I'm having some aggression issues with my 4 Venustus (3 males) and 6 Eyebiter (4 males) among themselves... so I'm thinking adding more of those might not work out...

At any rate, I'm ready to offer $30 for the Livingstonii and Polystigma... they will go to a good home... i'll pick them up this weekend if you accept my offer...
 
Okay, $30 only beacuse I would rather sell them cheaper to a good home than get every dime i wanted for a questionable home. Had the Livingstonii since he was a couple inches.

If I were you i would remove the females of both species they are probably the cause of this aggression. Have read up on it a lot on websites. Also, a lfs that was in Redland's called Daryl's had a 300g malawi haps tank set up for display have had many talks with the owner. she explained she removed all females to kill the aggression in the tank. none of those haps bothered each other anytime i went in there. I've also heard D. Comp. is mild mannered but intolerable of its own species... even in hundreds of gallons. It is also VERY VERY hard on its females and 1:3 ratio wont even work with them... they need many mates or will kill them all. IMO they havent killed the 2 females because they are fighting to the death over who gets to kill them...lol
 
Thanks for the advice. Definitely will do that if it really gets out of hand, right now they are all doing well, no one is really getting beaten up because there is enough space to swim around.

Please PM me your address... and a good time to pick up on Saturday or Sunday... most likely I will pick them up on Sunday...
 
Will do. I'm available probably just about all weekend i dont work this weekend so ill give you my number and address and you can call or text and let me know when you want to stop by anytime between right now and monday night.
