Has anyone kept pseudotropheus Zebra "blueberry"

[paulW]

My wife wants some of these really bad.

Are they similiar in temperment to Red and Cobalt zebras?

I'm guessing they will be ok in my 300 gallon. I have some other Mbuna in there with peacocks, haps, and a few Tangs. Although this would probably be the most aggressive Mbunas in the tank. Others are Metrclima Aurora, Yellow Labs, labeotropheus traverse, Blue and White Lab (forget latin name, but it's an awesome light blue color).

I guess I just don't want it to be like a Kenyi or Scofoli level of aggression (try to claim large territoy or be violent), or be aggressive towards other species.

Metriaclima sp. "Zebra Blue" is true name, about the same as other Zebras.

ok.. I was guessing the same thing.

Also, I apologize. Most of my books are old, so I often use the old names of fish.
