Mean fish there killers

They are not killers. They are a more aggressive cichlid, but everyone thinks they kill just to kill. They don't. They are very territorial, and if you don't let them have there own space they will pick on another fish enough that it will die, but they are not cold blooded killers like everyone makes them out to be.

do you strip them or just wait until they get bigger?

Thanks, all of you. I just let the female let them out when she's ready. Being the females are in breeders and the other fish are in the tank, the females seem to hold a little longer than usual.
