Was thinking of adding 1 or 2 black belt cichlids with my oscars & blood parrots, would this work or would they be too much more aggressive?
Black Belt Cichlid Aggression?

I think if they were the small ones in the tank you should be good. But from what I have seen BB can be a little nasty at times. Especially big ones. They are great looking fish when they are big though.
they r all abt 3-4 inches right now...was thinking they may be ok but had tried 2 oscars & the blood parrots with a red devil & the oscars were dead by morning 
...the RD now has his own tank

RDs... those mean suckers. Yeah, I would say if your BB are smaller than the Os you should be good. But when they get big you will have to seperate them probably. A 10" BB is one tough customer... and he likes the store to himself, if you know what I mean.
the RD was too gorgeous to get rid of but I seriously thought abt it once I found what was left of the oscars
I think I'll hold off on the BBs...Would hate to get them then end up having probs & nowhere large enough to move them to

thank you!! my daughter is too attached to the thing to part with him...I love the fish too, it is just frustrating that he muct be kept alone ~ he has been pretty tolerant of the pleco so far, though
Good call on the BB. The bigger mine gets, the bigger his 'tude gets! He's at about 4" and is starting to nip at the jag, FH, and Salvinis.
