Yes indeed

Ok. So I know this isn't an American Cichlid but I have a chance to get some baby butiikoferi. How do they match up as glass bangers, wet pets and predators? I know they are extremely aggressive but are they glass bangers and wet pets? And I have heard they are mainly herbivores as well?

They grow rather large and fast from what I hear.

I have one and he is a wet pet. Very personal. I rub him down when I do water changes. He has try to bite me, but I also talk to my fish. I have a video I took when I had look two festae to my female trimac. So, I put her on punishment. I divided in the tank with my tilapia buttikoferi. He broke the divider I thought he or she might choke . So I removed the divider. The end results was this video. Bare with me im trying to upload it.

But a butti will outgrow a 75 much faster than a Midas imo

Op is setting up a 180 for this fish in the first post no?
They grow at a similar rate to Midas up until 10 inch then they just keep growing at the same pace on to 14 inch... a big butti will fill a 180 and use every inch.
