I've got a 55g that's had African cichlids for a few years. I have a ton of decor for them to hide. So much so that I can't gravel vac a majority of the gravel. And its starting too look bad. There's also too many fish anyways. The yellow labs are way too easy to breed. I know when you get new cichlids etc your supposed to rearrange the decor so that no territory is established. But if I tear down all the decor to be able to clean the tank decently, will that start a whole new fight over hiding spaces? Should I take the fish out also maybe?
I'm also toying with the idea of tearing it down and getting rid of them. But I honestly can never find actual people who know what they are doing when I post classifieds for fish or snails in my area. And I don't want them to go to another tank to just die.
