Black Belt Cichlids

[Kyel]

Are Black Belt Cichlids aggressive. I saw one at my LFS today and don't know anything about them.

 

[buddha1200]

yes,some can be extremely agressive i have had only one that wasnt extreme,but he did take over 25% of the tank and would defend it relentlessly.

 

[Kanta]

It depends, I have a pair that are as mean as a piece of lint.

 

[Gruff Master]

Mine was mainly rough around feedings and when other fish came near the female Fenestratus that he claimed. He was mean but not Red Devil status.

 

[Cichlaholics Anonymous]

I had one for about 2 years until I gave away my cichlids, and it was one of the more dominant fish in the tank but it was pushed around by my big polleni (as were all the other fish in the tank).

The one I had was very opurtuitistic (sp?) He would attack when he's had space to run. But, backdown if cornered
