I am sure he would kill them. If he could only catch them.
In the tight confines of holey rock, he does not have a chance. So far he only bothers them when they invade his private area.
Introducing 11 juveniles too the tank dictator.

They all survived the day. The blue pseudotrophus is content in his hide out, and the 3/4" yellow labs. Are out grazing with out any worries.
He has always been very dominant. I have 6 of his offspring, at 1/2" long. To replace him with if he becomes too much of a jerk.
I have about 15 more yellow lab fry. That will need the other tank.
It's a mixed male and female tank, lots of food, and plenty of hiding spots. It's my first try with mbuna, so far I have had only one jump to his death.

Congratulations on the fry, always love when my fish breed. Looks like that tank can use a good scrubbing. Gotta get in there with a toothbrush or something my friend
I am certain that having plenty of free algae growing. Keeps the aggressive fish calmer. As they don't have to have fight over food.
Wow that's interesting I've never thought of it from that standpoint. Whatever works best for your system, thanks for the info
New territory here. 3 blue male juveniles, dad and mom, with 10 more in grow out at an inch long.
The blue psudotrophus elongatus, is getting a lot more passive as he matured.
Tank is 75 gallons, with yellow labs, and a dragons blood female. Still waiting for her to give me some hybrids. 3 mature males, and none are interested, even though she has had 3 clutches of eggs, unfertilized.
The hybrid experiment, dragons blood x yellow lab or blue pseudo trophus. Is for my curiosity. I find 5000 variations of "cichlids " interesting.
I would like to keep 10 blues, 10 yellow , and 10 reds all in a breeding group. My last dragons blood male, was way too agressive. I have 3 females, still looking for a male.
