received a beautiful 10" male blackbelt and 6" male trimac(both from rapps) from my little brother yesterday. I have an empty 125 for the blackbelt, ive never kept one and just was looking for suggestions for tankmates? I hope its not as aggressive as my zonatus
 
How is the Black Belts aggression? Are you looking to add other Cichlids as tankmates? You could probably add some Plecostomus or some other hard body bottom dweller. I have seen large Black Belts who would not live with anything.
 
I have seen them very aggressive to mildly aggressive. Depends on the fish. At 10" if he was king of the tank before he might be very aggressive toward similar shaped and colored fish.
