I'm not sure if this is the right forum or not. But I have 6 of these guys right now, all to small for tankmates, but once they get a little bigger I'll be looking for some. I read they were a mini predator, but I'm not sure if they're suited to go with any ca/sa cichlids or not. Any ideas?
 
I wouldn't put them in with ca/sa ciclids, unless you're talking about geos or something similar.
Mine aren't the least bit aggressive. I seriously doubt they could hold their own against most new worlds. I think their reputation for being aggressive is way overblown.
 
I agree...They are not at all aggressive and would definitely not do well with CA/SA.
 
I keep mine with Calvus' , Julidochromis Dickfeldi's, and Gold occelatus.

I have a nice group with some Moba frontosa and few other tangs. Would try to keep them with fish that it can not eat, rather peaceful and tends to mind its own business.

Nice looking fronts! I keep my comps with my smazi group. My mobas are housed with a few large tropheus. Both groups doing great.

Another tennis playing fish hobbyist. I thought I was the only one in existence!
 
They seem to be much more cospesific(sp.) aggressive.
