On here it says they are not as aggressive as others and can be in a community tank? Is this true??
I noticed when I had one with my other cichlids he got beat up on...
I would be interested in adding one to my tank... eventually when I change it.

Well, the definition of community tank is not in the usual sense of the word. They'll do fine in a community tank of Rift Lake cichlids. They are colourful, and are not as aggressive as a lot of other fish from Malawi or Tanganyika.

Labs are not very agressive depending on the size of their tank mates. I have seen agressive ones but that's in cases of the lab's being the bigger fish in the tank.In a community tank i see it as a 50% chance that they won't be a predator.

had one in our community tank, but he beat up on the fishies!

make sure you have a tank mate with the 1,also make sure it's not the biggest in the tank to stand a chance. I wouldn't risk it.

Like Lisachromis said, they're not a "community fish" in the sense that they should be kept with gouramis, livebearers, cories, tetras, etc... But they do well in a community of Malawi cichilds. They're aggressive enough to hold their own with other mbuna, but they're also peaceful enough (by Malawi standards) to be kept with haps or pea****************s. They're still too aggressive for the average "community tank", and are generally considered "aggressive fish".
