Jon, as you know, I bought a pair(from you!) of yellow labs. We weren't 100% positive they were male and female, but it looked promising. Neptune, the big male, after getting over his not eating issues, still stayed hidden most of the day but would come out for me. I brought home "another" female yesterday, and Neptune stays out all the time now. He swims with the two of them and dances up and down the glass. Could it be he was disappointed he only had one female, or is the other "female" a subdominant male? Anyone have ideas?

Angel,
It is always better to have more than 1 female with mbuna's. A trio or more.

 Here's one of my yellow labs that has me confused. This fish puffs out it's throat at feeding time and looks like it's holding. I was convinced it was a mother-to-be that just looks like a male then it goes back to like this, and then at feeding time it'll be all into the holding-pattern again. Ever see a fish fake it? |
