hi, I currently have a 5ft mbuna tank, established for about four
years, the problem I have is they are prolifically breeding, most of
the young are surviving as I have plenty of rock and I will
occasionally fish them out and grow them on in the fish room until
they are large enough for my local fs to take, unfortunately I have
more young mbuna than he can handle (approx 50 growing on) and the
adults are still at it! any tips on how to slow them down?


You might try a function fish, like a big old aggressive cichlid, MAYBE
one
angelfish, that would eat the young? Just an idea.... Good luck and
later!



Good idea, but with a pictus catfish maybe, not an Angelfish.
