MitchWA Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Blue Acara's are quite good too. Prolly not as agressive tho... HTH Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citypainter Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 In my opinion both Texas and Jag, (Especially the Jag), will be too aggressive for those fish. 1 Firemouth could be OK. They are fairly passive as far as Americans go. Blue arcaras would be fine. So would multi spinosa. JD's can get quite aggressive when bigger so I wouldn't go that way either because you will run into problems later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
