Not totally true Red, my Lab. Caeruleus are no where near as aggressive
as lab
kimpumba or lab hongi.

You mean, you aren't sure if they are females or males? how old/young
are
they?



You'll find that Labidochromis sp "Mbamba" and Labidochromis hongi
species
are more aggressive than many other Labids. In the wild, they're algae
grazers
and tend to defend territories. While many other Labids are insectivorous
and
don't defend territories. I don't think the inbreeding of the L. caeruleus
has
affected it's aggressiveness. You'll find that many algae grazing species
that
defend small territories in the wild are the ones that are typically more
aggressive in our tanks.
