r.d.m Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 peter id say stick with the cichlids,imo saras are (thisll start something)stupid, willcause you stress, will cause your other fish stress, will jump out a lot,will not breed, do nothing but go up and down the tankand imo are totally usuited to captivity far better to get a mate for your rd or some wolf cihlids maybe?

Ducksta Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Mate I reckon your 4 most agro cichlids would tear each other apart in a tank even that size. Also I think your idea of what is most aggressive is a bit skewed but thats not the topic. I don't think the cichlids you mention will cohabitate well in that tank. An umbee would make a great showpiece - they are monsters!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_Gun_Riff Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 OH NO not in the same tank thats a recipe for disaster they will all be in seperate tanks all display fish yeah i love the look of the umbees the thing is if i get one i think i might like it more then my jag lol Also I think your idea of what is most aggressive is a bit skewed but thats not the topic yeah i know what you meen but from what ive read these are the most aggro can we get umbees??

Ducksta Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 They are definately here, tracking one down might be difficult, but shouldn't be impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lv426 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 After looking up the fish mentioned your list and I have one word......impressive Even though I have Africans & only 2 Americans if I could start again I would go American all the way.
