Yes, one of the more pscho Mbunas around...usually five-six foot tank is a must if you want a community. The fact that non dominate males and females share the same color doesn't help.

I have 2 of them in a 55 gal tall with 2 blue zebra and 1 electric yellow. They are all about 1 inch long. Should I get more of the yellow and or blue? What other cichlids and how many do you recommend?
Thank you again for your help!
