I've had an odd group of fish for a little while manly because I occasionally give the roommate permission to pick out a fish or two to put in the tank off a list I give him. He takes his girlfriend and breaks down and brings home what she thought was pretty... grrr.
anyway

I had a juvi Kenyi that I allowed in my community setup but told him that as soon as it got really territorial it would go to a friends mbuna tank.

It tried to occasionally bother a danio or two but couldn't really keep up so I didn't mind. The only fish it terrorized was my roommates other fish (dwarf neon rainbow), but it wasn't really that bad, the kenyi just seemed to insist that the fish stay in a corner of the tank. It seemed as if the danios would follow suit and keep her herded into that corner as well.

Recently the kenyi started messing with my fish so off it went to a buddies cichlid tank. After about a week the pecking order of the rainbow being the little wuss has all changed. It is trying to mess with the danios... quite odd. I think it thinks its a cichlid or something.
