My guys are breeding like crazy, can you do something to make them sterile?
 
anyone?
 
you don't need to sterilize if you have piscivore africans in the tank. they will control the population by eating the fry. this seems cruel to some, but its up to you. not my first choice, but the most direct answer i could tell you to ensure your tank doesn't overpopulate itself
 
In a 90 gallon, i'd recommend some synodontis catfish, maybe multi's?

They will take care of your fry pretty well.

Most predatory haps will also prey on you adults if they're smaller species, but i see most of yours aren't.

Many of the Nimbochromis spp. may be too aggressive for your mbuna when adult, and be bullied when young.

Your best bet is probably some kind of cat.
 
you really think his stocklist woul have problems with a giraffe?
 
My stock list has grow since my profile. I have 5 acie, 3 red empress, 5 Kennie (2 adults 3 fry), 8 labs (mixed in size), two Pecos and one syno (one had his eyes plucked out last night and died). With all that the tank is incredalby peacefull. Wish I never got the Kenni... I worried that I'll get over stocked running two 2217's, I do water changes at 30% every two weeks and don't want to do more. I used purigen and pura in the filters and the parameters are good.
