I'm totally new to cichlids so I went with easy non aggressive fish, I have 6 electric yellows and 6 rusties. Just this morning I was watching them and there is one of my rusties chasing some of the others around. He/She is not very larger either, in fact their all more or less juvenile. Just wondering if this a dominance thing or mating time?

I suppose I can just watch and see also

I just realized that I put this in the pics forum! Can someone move it for me?

That is normal cichlid behavior, even with the calmest of the malawis you will still have some chasing/fighting.

Good luck with them... Rustys are beautiful!

Yeap that's natural behavior. keep an eye but if you see them fighting biting each others lips that's when you gotta separate them for a little. Don't want them to bust their lips too much.
