A mature male Tropheops sp "red top chilumba" below:

I really can not recommend this mbuna to anyone.  Things started out well enough, but this guy turned out to be even more aggressive than the auratus I kept many years ago.  I had him with some very aggressive Astatotilapia aenocolor for about six months until one day he decided they all must die.  I tried to give him away but no one would take him (because I was honest about his temperament, I guess).  One LFS was finally willing to take him.
