Red zebra dominance

[ricco34]

I have an mbuna tank with 6 that are all about 3-4 inches. I have a cobalt blue, electric yellow lab, yellow tail acei, a red zebra, and an albino pink zebra. The red zebra was always the boss and chased everyone that went near his cave and the albino one always hung around the filter and would be chased by the red one. But now the red one is near the filter and the albino one is swimming around and there is no dominate cichlid. Any idea on what might've happend? I'm curious

Sounds like the zebra got his *** kicked lol . I had a red Zebra that was the tank boss until one of my cobalt blues got big enough to challenge and became top dog himself. This took about 6mo for the hiarchy to change. Eventually a smaller Snow White took the crown from Big blue! That's why I love the cichlids
