    Hi Reedfish.

    Thanks. I keep the more aggressive species in a different tank. The Mbuna that's are of the less agressive kind. So they all get along very well. I have had no behaviour problems so far and the tank has been running for almost 2 years now.

    Hi azurekoi

    Yes they are F1's from Neil but the rare ones are Wild Caughts which he also organised. Yes I know I was going to get the comment on the quality of the photos.... they were all taken from my cell phone's camera (not great quality).

    The Metr. Aurora that are fighting are brothers which I grew from when they hardly had any colour (probably 2-3cm). The smaller one just decided to stand up to his brother and this is the result, I won't say that they have been friends since but there hasn't been an incident like this again although the smaller one has earned a bit more respect from his brother now.
