None yet. How old are your fish? Are they breeding yet?
General advice is to keep at least 3 females per male when it comes to Malawian cichlids, I'd recommend more for the hyperaggressive species such as M. lombardoi and M. johannii.

so more females??? I am not too interested in more females because i dont want to have fish that look alike. I dont know why I got the Neo. pulchers.
I would suggest you try to get another female lombardoi and johanii. You could then look at Ps elongatus mpanga, Cyn afra species, Metriaclima greshakei, Melanochromis auratus, blue dolphins or cobalt blues. Cyn afra lions cove is quite a beautiful fish if you can get hold of them.
If you don't want more females then I suggest finding new homes for the females you already have. It will not be fair for them to be hounded constantly and, by species standards - very often to death, just because you don't like the way it looks.
An all male tank would get you nice color with far less breeding related aggression and therefore a better likelyhood of a peaceful home for your fish. Just don't get any females.
