So one of my red zebras went on a rampage and killed half my fish so i got rid of him and am now overstocking. I now have a yellow lab, 2kenyis, 2 afras, 1 birchardi, 2 jewels, and one of the black ones with the white dots(forget name) and also a icy blue zebras whos in a breeding net because he was terrorizing too. All these fish are about 2 inches. My tank is a 46 bowfront with a fluval 306 and aragonite sand for ph.

My questions are:
Should i get more fish to overstock more?
Should i get rid of that other zebra?
Anything else i can do to keep aggression down?

As of right now they are getting along pretty good besides occasional short chases.
 
Jewls with malawis? I wouldnt recommend that. what are male to female ratios? what is your type of filtration?

Jewels wont get along? And fluval 306 canister filter, 10g water change weekly but might go up to 15
 
You shouldnt have a brichardi in there either if your meaning the tang one. Kenyis are aggressive too. Do you have plenty of rockwork?
 
I got a big fake rock structure that takes up half the tank and i few cichlid stones (hollowed out fake rocks)

Their requirements are a bit different. Your cichlids are from Lake Malawi and jewels are from rivers.
