Thank you! Will be try to put his genes in his tank mates (electric yellows, aceis, and blue dolphins) down the road?

Yah i agree , he will run that yellow tank. Be sure to have a nice home for him to spend time in , so as to not chase the other fish constantly,,...

My sole cobalt blue zebra (not even close to being a dominant fish in the pecking order) has a thing for harassing acei's for some reason. He leaves all the other mbuna species alone.

Definite Callainos.One of the most vicious mbuna i have ever kept
