This guy is definitely a monster!

Lol this guy is absolutely my FAVORITE mbuna...he's stunning. But he's also a closet monster. He rules the tank and keeps everyone in line, including me! Within the last few months, he's taken to attacking the python when it gets too close to his cave, and he even bit me about a month ago when my hands got too close. I'm not talking a gentle nibble like mbuna do, he flat out BIT me, little brat. Then, tonight when taking photos, I noticed he seemed to get angry at the camera being so close, so I stuck a finger out at him, and this is the result (pics are blurry, dammit :x):

Successfully having defended his territory, he retreats

rixy, I'm sure sen_jie appreciates the info, but I already knew what my fish was

Yes, he's an adult male M. greshakei (who, for the record, if you're looking online for, you'll likely have more luck looking for Metriaclima greshakei than Maylandia).

Thanks for the comments everyone
