Agresive Chiclids

[FishFillet]

I have a 50 gallon chiclid tank with plenty of rocks good water and they are doing very well, I have three african chiclids and two Danios that were there a befor them.I cannot put another fish in my tank and it is very annoying. I tryed to put another african chiclid about the same size (4 inches)into my tank, I rearranged the rocks in the tank and almost immediatly all three of them beat up the new guy... I realized what was going on 6 hours later and I quikly put him into a hospital tank were he later onn died the next day... How can I put another fish in my tank! please help me

The only way to introduce mbuna is to add pretty much all the stocking at once and, as they need to be overcrowded to reduce agression, that means adding a lot of fish in one go.
