Species: Haplochromis Sp. "Dayglow Fulu"
30 Gal grow-out tank, about to be moved into my 55...

The dominant male (Mu'adib) has had the thrown, and the all the ladies ;) for several months... we noticed another male showing a bit of color yesterday then today... *drum roll* the sub-dominant male (still un-named, suggestions please!) decided it was time to DE-THROWN my dominant!

Check out this AWESOME mouth-to-mouth combat!!! w00t!

(Dominant male on the right, contender for the thrown on the left)

(PS: They went at it for like 10 min but we only video taped 20 seconds or so and I think we scared them by standing up and getting closer.... but still sweet! They are SO colored out! Dont mind my talking.... I was in utter awe! Best battle I've ever seen...)

Shortly after this vid, the contender on the left lost most of his color. Just a little blush- so Mu'adib is still the dominant at this time.
