not sure, but more than likely, the color change and closeness could be a
reaction to the fighting....

If it helps any, most labidochromis behave just like any other
labidochromis...

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

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

You're right, I guess I really shouldn't generalize, but I think the yellows
are so inbred the aggressiveness has lost it's edge... My blue lab and a
friends red top kimpumba are identical, in that they are both nice and only
aggressive towards similar sized competitors...

yet again, I should have put YMMV on the end....

I've got perlmutts that are definitely more aggressive then the yellows I've
had... They aren't lethal though, mainly just posturers
