Hi just wondering how aggressive these fish are against other species Bocourti Cichlid & Vieja Breidohri. I have heard Bocourti and fairly peaceful​

 
I've kept both Vieja briedhori and Cinesthysies bocourti, found neither to be overtly aggressive, as long as they are given adquate territory nd spce.
My bocourti requied a minimmun 300 gal tanks soon after growing out to over 12" i in a 150 gal.

They get testy if cramped.

As they sge, bocourtti become predominently vegetarian, and unkess fed appropriatly, can get intesyinal blockages.

My briedohri last a bit longer in a 150 gal tank, and a pair could be kept in 150 alone, for quite some time.

Male left, female right.
Once paired up the entire 6 ft tank,, became their personal territory, and no other cichlid was allowed in the tank
