    New to cichlids, is this mating behaviour? + ID'S?

    Malawi cichlids fighting

    Yeah I've noticed they do tend to come across slightly aggressive, no other fish tends to care about them in my tank. I was thinking just normal behaviour but I'm gonna keep an eye on them, now they've had time to settle in I think I'm gonna get a fue more as I love there colours!
