I am presently keeping Pseudotropheus demasoni, Pseudotropheus kingsizei, and Labidochromis caeruleus.  I am thinking of adding Pseudotropheus saulosi to this tank.
I have 2 Pseudotropheus species already and the males of all three pseudotropheus species are somewhat similar in looks.  I am mostly worried about interbreading.  Are these fish likely to interbread.

On a side note I am not convinced that all of the kingsizei I got from Al's in Kanata are infact kingsizei.  They are far from grown but the ones that appear to still have the female colouring are looking pretty male to me based on behaviour and barring.  It could be that they are just a bunch of lady bullies though.

I'd be worried first with the high level of aggressivety with 3 blue similar males. There's a higher possibility of interbreeding when the females are similar witch is the case with kingsizei & saulosi.

That is were my worry lies.  I didn't know there was a corralation between the colour blue and aggresiveness.

Its not an issue of blue fish being more aggressive. If you have males of any colour and same coloured males of another type fish they often will fight thinking that they're the same species.

Gotcha
