WC Hemichromis Fasciatus pair - Fighting footage

It's been a long while and this sure does feel good to post a vid. Things still hectic with our new born baby and work.
Vid taken a few weeks ago. I had Jose pickup the oscar as the male was getting extremely aggressive with the female and her not spawning. Thought timing was right and figured she'd spawn after oscar gone.
Not even 10min after Jose leaves, male keeps putting female into the corner with his aggressiveness. Her tube was hanging half down.
Watched them for an hour and the male is being super aggressive and now starting to give her pretty strong bite. Let this go on for maybe another 30min and now female is barred up.
Options at this point is divide or try to rebond by putting a big fish in.
Grabbed 10" male Red Isletas i was using in 100g to taper female Frempongi aggession from smaller male.
This worked and got pair rebonded. Kept Red Isletas in tank until he didn't come out of corner. Maybe 15-20min.
Male in this vid isn't extremely aggressive at all. Havoc at this size Pinned the Oscar, 10" RD, Butti and a few others. No hesitation, no fear.
Vid purely for recording how these fish fight.
This guy isn't anything really. He's from same batch as Havoc. When i received this batch, Havoc was probably pretty close to 4". There was a male at 3" that controlled my 180g. This guy was a couplenotches above Havoc in terms of aggression.
Screwed up with that guy. He was pairing off with a female and... Some how i thought rearrange tank would be cool for my vids.
This was a horrible mistake. Rearranged, territory lost. Havoc descides he's done and takes over. all H. Fasciatus has to be removed.

Alonzo Garrett thanks!! I've been pretty darn busy with my newborn son and work. Will have so new vids of pair with free swimmers and a new sump for tank. Also have 5 Spot projects in the works with new Hemichromis Frempongi and f1 Hemichromis Fasciatus fry from a different pair I'll be getting to pair with f1 fry from my pair. Have 2 f1 females from anther person I'll be putting an f1 male with from current pair. I personally don't like to breed siblings. Gotta keep a royal bloodline

Which is the 5 star, the fasciatus or elongatus? And what's their respective sizes. Thanks

[@willlujan9049]

Sonder Cichlids
Hemichromis Elongatus (5 star general)
Hemichromis Frempongi
Hemichromis Fasciatus
People typically don’t know the difference between them which is why I stick with “5 spot”.
5 star general is the common name for Hemichromis Elongatus

[@sondercichlidaquariums4951]

5 Spot Junkie thanks for the response. There's not much info out there on them
