blackbelt and texas

[[enjoyable_attempt]]

Will a blackbelt and texas be alright together?

Also what would you guys put together for a 125g SA/CA community tank.

both can go together in a 125 IMO...what are the others you considered?

my blackbelt and texas harrassed each other relentlesly in a 265 at 3 inches(had to rehome the texas)really depends on the personality of the fish(its 50/50)

i agree with budda, sometimes it doesnt matter about the room but the aggressiveness, if its just a pissed off fish, he's gonna f@%k up the first thing it sees. attitude

IMO it depends on the fish. I am about to trade my BB (I am heartbroken) but he has caused major issues in my tank and I think he killed 2 fish. GT, TX

I have heard some are ruthless and others are wimps.

It depends on the individual fish.

I have had good Texas', and ones like everyone talks about. Fish are born with aggressive genetics, but not all act the same way. Best way to see is try it out, and keep an eye on everything.

It all depends on the individual of both species.Look at my two.4" male bifasciatus and 2" carpinte

My bb always messes with my tx. Anyhow I have them a clown knife, few firemouthes, looking to add another sa/ca or two.
