What Makes Your Tank Unique?

What makes my tank unique is how I can keep about 30 central and south American cichlids together with almost no aggression. I’ve mastered the aggression dilemma by: making sure one fish does not become the ultimate king/alpha male, rearranging the furniture to create open obstacles as opposed to caves/hiding places where they become territorial & gain confidence, introducing smaller species of aggressive fish so they have a hard time being king of the tank, keeping non-cichlids, such as silver dollars to dissipate the aggression, and maintaining healthy water parameters.
