Heck yeah those are some awesome fish. I had an Argentae male get to 13 inches and the colors were gorgeous. He claimed an 80 gallon all to himself and would not let me keep anything in with him. Mean fish but beutiful. I sold him like a fool then tried to buy him back but the dude said no way. Hartwegi is a lot less agressive and sport some pretty colors. Get a Veija Zonatus if you could find one their colors are incredible. They too are tough guys though.
Any love for these cichilds?

Ive had all on ur list and together in a 125g never had a problem. Grew them all out from 2" together. They are chasers in a large enough tank but not terribly aggressive they do need the space though. Im actually growing out two baby hartwegis right now and they are hold their own against a much bigger pearsi and flowerhorn.

i got an 8" Argentea who is the biggest fish in the 140g with 9 smaller cichlids from 2" - 7".. The 7" Synspilus punks him, and the 5" Breidhori punks him if they ever choose to. Just he runs away when he pumps into them. And he, the argentea, is the biggest in the tank
