Is your demasoni the only one of its kind in your tank?

I have yellow labs with demasoni and other mbuna. With multiple demasoni in
the tank, mine ignore the other cichlids and focus on each other (nothing
beyond some chasing).
For a while my dominant male demasoni possessed a certain cave and was
territorial. He'd ward off any fish that got too close to the entrance...but
then I rearranged the tank and the cave got taken over by my largest
socolofi.

Hey, i've had 2 yellow labs be "murdered" in my tank too. I originally
came to this NG to find out what happened to the first, but found out it
was one of my demasoni's picking on him. I bought a larger one to repalce
him, but the second one died, leaving just hte larger one. So far he's
been ok. He's about a 1/2" larger than the others. All the labs were
larger than the demasonis. THis week he killed yet another fish. I'm not
sure what to do about this agressive fish. In any case, the yellow labs
are on the less agressive side, and having a larger one seems to help.




I wonder if a little rock rearrangement might help in this case - plus
it will be the only way to get the injured lab out...she's out right now
feeding and it looks like there is some regrowth with the fins and tail.
