Black belts?

[convict360]

I hear a lot of mixed opinions on black belt cichlids, such as temperament and colour; very curious to hear peoples experiences with them. Please post your stories below

My fish of choice lol. Adults can be murders and hard on tank mates but given adequate room can live with others just nothing sensitive and no other vieja as mine was quite hard on my hybrid even at a small size. I have a male right now whose about 8 or so inches and he's my fav.
I have a lot more pics on my iPod

And this is a prize winning male that was posted on here from some show or another that I thinks shows what a blackbelt can really look like when taken care of

Beautiful fish

Black Belts are great fish but they do have some pretty bad attitudes at times. This is mine and is currently 10" in my 240g.

By far my favorite fish.
Had one for 16 years it's what started all this fish stuff.
Bought him when he was 2" and put him in a 20gallon..[i didn't know any better].
Then he got a 55 a 90 a 125 ...Learned alot with that fish.
One of the most aggressive fish i've ever kept [including Dovii].
One of the most beautiful just all around great fish.

I think you will need to include tank size in your question. Comparing fish in a four foot tank to a fish living in an eight foot tank will lead to very different answers.
