At the moment I have a very aggressive 75g Mbuna tank. I have two holding females. First holding female is a Metriaclima greshakei I am not sure if the male is my albino or another regular gene. I am pretty sure it's the albino. There are four males and about eight females. The other is one of my Pseudotropheus crabro is holding. There are three females and one male. This has my male (Tank Boss) Metriaclima lombardoi mad. I had to move his partner because he beat her up the last time she wasn't in the mood to spawn. I plan to move her back next week. The lombardoi is trying to find any female he can and chasing everyone off in his quest to do so.
I did a water change yesterday and this is when I found all this going on. I noticed a few fry thumbnail clipping size moving around on the bare glass of the bottom. I looks like greshakei fry from the last spawn that somehow made it (probably not for too much longer). Needless to say I got my hand nudged around by the two most dominant males yesterday. The lombardoi was trying to take blood from me. You want to see an aggressive Mbuna tank get em some good clean water and let em all spawn at once!
