Question
i own one female cockatoo dwarf cichlid and a pair of agassiz's dwarf cichlid,one female and one male.the male cichlid keeps on attacking both of the female fishes even though the cockatoo has a history of violence where it killed the male of its species.i want to breed the two agassiz's dwarf cichlid! how can i make it possible ?i have two caves.

Answer
Hi Sasuke,
 Add a lot more caves and structure in the tank so that the weaker fish have a place to hide.
Then they can come out when they want to and your odds of success will be much greater.
