lol. many names with colors dont exactly match the fish and it always bothers my mom if i point to a light blue male and say "look its a red zebra" lol
they r pretty aggressive, but in a 4 ft. with a deicent amount of mbuna it is very unlikely to become hyper dominant. they arent bad bullies either but can easily rule the tank. good candidate for a mbuna community of 4 ft. or longer
