You may need to buy a bigger tank. If it is big enough is there places for the Cichlids to escape to or hide. The way that I got my Cichlids to stop fighting is to overstock the tank. You will need a really good filter, a big one, to handle the load of all of the fish. Ask somebody at a reliable pet store how many fish you should put in to over stock.

I hope that helped :)



PS: don't ask anybody in wall mart's fish
department, they don't know anything.


PSS: If you tried that and they are still a little aggressive you
can try a veggie clip. You can put vegetables on it and they
will eat off of it, ask somebody at the pet store what things you can
put on it.

African cichlids are PH 8.2 while babrbs are lower. You could acclimate the barb up or the Malawi down in PH but neither would do as well. Also, African cichlids are very aggressive and the barb, who is semi-aggressive, would probably not survive for long.
