YES!!! You're absolutely
right (Well ... I do hope to be right myself!!!): it is a male
Pseudotropheus sp. "Msobo" in full "battle colour" (notice the other male,
in the background). I hope you can now understand why I decided to take
back these fish as my 1st choice?

Carefully look at the tail
... after all we're in the
wild (in Lake Malawi
itself!) with plenty of space to run away, to hide, or else ... and
still this female is "badly" beaten. Any wonder, then, that the same
things can (and will)
happen in a tank, no matter
how big?

Final
(two) shots for a batch of fry foraging on a stone
(above)
and the
(right. A bit dark; I know!) swallowed by their mother while another
"curious" - to say so - male approaches ...
(bottom; a bit dark, I
know!) 
Enough
for today, the air meters say it's time to "climb" to surface; we've been
good boys ... there's no need of decompression stops ... only the sorrow
for the ended game ... for today!!!
