Well scratch the stingray.... what about now?
 
Well scratch the Butti too then... I really like them but If everyone says they are such a pain they can't be lying.
 
Butti are supposedly the nastiest cichlid you can get. I've never kept one but the stories are horrifying lol

Without the ray and the butti it can work. Good luck and post pics!

300 gallon... How bad are Butti?

:( What if I'm rasing the Butti with the other fish?

Well, lets just say butti's are known for ripping the lips off of red devils. They are known for killing dovii's, taking off gill plates, and their mouths are used for ripping tough algae in Africa. So that mouth is very strong and can seriously kill.
Here is a nasty video of a butti and a red devil. Watch the whole video.

Even if you raise them, they are called hornet tilapia's for a reason. They look cute when young but will bite you in the ass when its older. Don't ever trust Buttah's.
