Hi Rich, I'm by no means an expert but I do have 3 of the named fish.
My fish guru sold me 3 hansbaenschi, 3 Pseudotropheus greshakei, 3 P.
saulosi and 6 yellow labs. They all get along fine (so far?) in a 55
gallon tank with fine beach sand and large rocks. The Alpha greshakei
and hansbaenschi seem to be the bosses of the tank as they show finnage
more often. But none of the yellow fish give them a second glance.
