Which african has a higher level of agression of these 2?

[Sym]

Ive had quite a few africans in the last 10years, I currently have 5 or 6, of those, my red zebra (think he is a red zebra although he is more white than red) is easily the nastiest and sturdiest one of the bunch. By far. Had an auratus years ago, remember him being pretty bad, I picked up another one tonight, I was just wondering how their agression level stacks up to the red zebras? Thanx!

On average the auratus tend to be meaner. But of course you could just have one bossy zebra...

from my experience the zebra is more aggressive but the aurutus is none for its aggresion

 

[Sym]

Yeah, the zebra definantly has an attitude, caught him locking lips with the dempsey earlier tonight Thanx for the info guys.

Auratus is pretty aggressive.

All fish have different personalities, but I would say Auratus.

both can be a real Pain in the a.. but in my experience, the auratus was worse. i only had one auratus and he tormented the entire tank, even the clown loaches and catfish(fish that are usually ignored by ACs.) Ive had many zebras and have one now, they are terrritorial but are much calmer in tanks with lots of rocks. if you want to see some good pics of my tanks and how i had them set up for my ACs, click the link in my signature

my auratus always get owned by the other zebras
but now that i have a two mbunas there has been a change in the situation

I have about 6 zebras and they are larger than my auratus, but he still keeps them in place....
