Re:Anomalochromis Thomasi
This can be difficult, the male usually has more "spangles" and (I can't remember which) one of them is slightly deeper bodied. I bought six about six months ago and they were some of the most aggresive fish I'd ever had. One ended up dead the first day and another a couple of days later. I then tried them in pairs and ended up with two individual ones in separate tanks. I left them like that until I really needed a tank and put them together thinking that they'd probably kill each other, also not knowing whether I had a pair. You might understand my surprise when I discovered a week later that they had spawned and were being excellent parents.
If I were you I'd keep them separated for at least a month and then try putting them together again.
BTW The young are now about 2-3cm long and haven't shown such aggression yet but are starting to get very dominant and I'll have to move them to separate tanks or sell them.

They said "Smile, things could be worse." So I smiled, and sure enough...
