"Blue" was a very good wet pet. Not sure what you mean by aggressive..or how to compare. I started with seven juvenile Zonatus. This was the last fish standing.

As usual i want more fish than i have tanks

You think Coatzacoalcos can live in a 150 with a pearsei and heterospilus ?

It's always a crap shoot when you mix any CA cichilds. The answer is maybe. Your best bet is to always grow them out together. That said, the Pearsei alone can reach fourteen or more inches, so the 150 is approaching the minimum tank size to house that fish. Others will tell you different...and I'm not saying too small while they grow...just ultimately.

I have a coatz he is the most personable fish I have seen . He is also a pig and a splasher... He gets along well for the most part but he does have temper tantrums from time to time. Hes pushing around 11 "
