That male will color up even better as he gets older and when they spawn they have big broods if the females are big.

No. Although they're predator's they don't have big teeth. They're effective at ambushing and eating small (typically mbuna) fry, significant teeth aren't really required for the task. My red zebra (with teeth adapted to grazing algae) had more noticeable teeth than my 9"+ d. comp:
