crossbreeding/territory/agression question.

I don't beleive the tank size is a problem. I also don't believe the feulleborni will cross breed with the lombardoi. How big is the lombardoi? The males change to a yellow colour at around 2,5-3 inches. Could be that yours is a male that hasn't matured yet!
I have 2 3ft tanks that have plenty of rocks in them and jave around 30 fish in each, all being wild caughts. Very little aggression shown. Odd bit of chasing around. Had a beaut feulleborni male but lost him when we had a power failure and I arrived home a little too late and then had to try a source a battery operated air pump. Now have plenty of them with fully charged re-chargeable batteries that last for about 13hrs. This guy was not at all aggressive. My Zebra gold is the most aggressive in this tank.
My pennies worth regarding your problem.
