Aggression scale for south American cichlids.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
a jack dempsey is maybe about 4-7... I know it is a big range but not all jack dempseys are exacly the same...It really depends on the fish but this is just an avrage in my opion... my 3 ich jack dempsey is probibly a 4 but some aggressive ones are about 7...
 
Where would buttikofferi,red devil,green terror, and true red festae land on the aggression list? Just wondering. Thanks in advance.

I had a CA community a few years back and the male sal I had in the tank was a terror, replaced him with a female sal and everything was great. The female had really intense colors too, ever since then I had wanted to get a tank setup just for a breeding pair but just haven't yet.

Ya he is going to go bye bye here real soon. He is not nearly as colorful as the female was. I was pretty mad when I found he killed her.
 
from personal experience:
10 - umbi, dovii, trimac
9- midas,grammodes, flower horn
8- jaguar,
7- neets, salvini
6- texas,
5-jd, convict
4- firemouth, oscar
3- severum,
2- angel fish
1 ram, keyholes


If most of the above spawn then you could +2 to the ranking. Predicting cichlid behavour is difficult, all fish seem to behave differently, some known agressive species can be docile. with increasing size and mass the damage the fish does increases also some fish have very sharp teeth others do not,

Where would festae be rank on your list?
