Like other zebra's, red zebra's will be inclined to occupy the top ranks of the tank's 'pecking order'. With the species you currently have, the male is destined to become the alpha fish in the tank, unless other aggressive species are introduced.

Once their dominance is firmly established the red zebra's I have are fairly easy going...unless their 'authority' is challenged (they can be quite brutal in fights) . They also seem more willing to break up fights that other fish are engaged in and in my tank keep aggressive behavior by the other mbuna's supressed to a degree.

Depending on the male's personality you may want to add an additional female if he seems to be stressing the two females with excessive attention.

I love mine, just got 3 babies, one was lunch for someone, other two I places in the grow out sump area, Mine does fight a bit but its mostly because of my crazy sp44 who think he owns almost all the tank, My Red Zebra even took on the larger(length, not girth) Peacock Bass the other day to get him out of the area. So far thats the only fish I have seen mess with him.
