Don't mean to argue but I'll ask the question, aren't red zebras known for being hostile towards other fish?

as are most mbuna...red zebra are not nearly as badd as many think
 
If anyone needs to know, Venustus are incredibly hard to catch:WHOA:

I swapped those 2 for another acei and yellow (the yellow ended up being salousi)

salousi are great! how big is it, females stay yellow, males turn blue...


They are smally- btwn 1 and 2 inches I'd say. They are really pretty. One of them looks like it has blue on the belly I think.

I think I have convinced hubby to build me a 140 gal plywood tank, then I can go back and get the venustus- I really liked those guys- talk about personality!
 
They are great, but they get meaner when they are bigger and small fish are open to eat! Since I got rid of my nimbos I have a crap ton of fry out and even more new ones... It has only been a month

That was what worried me about keeping them in the 55 until I got a bigger tank- not that they'd actually get to 10 inches before I upgraded, but that in a small tank they would kill the other fish I had when they got a little older.
