Due to need to re arrange tanks. My blue texas and my JD have been living together with no issues. My JD is kinda a wuss lol they co exist great together. I may need to move them into a 125 gallon. 6 foot long 125. Blue is about 6 inches and my JD about 8. Could they both live in a 125? Just them two no one else? They are in a bigger tank then a 125 now but may have to move them for awhile.. if not then I will unfortunately try and rehome them

Less space than before may result in a territory issue. I say may but it will depend on the personality of the cichlids especially the blue texas.
I agree. Even though placing them in a bigger environment is a great thing, it could have its downside as well. A new environment means checking out what can be claimed and may lead to a nasty conflict between the two. Having a spare tank will come handy.
Yeah I'ma have to give it a shot, Im going to scape it like the tank thier in. My JD is very very docile. Him and the Texas just follow each other around all day long. But I'll keep an eye on them. They were raised together basically I know with these cichlids that means nothing but I'll try and watch it. I have back up tanks if need be. But it would be just them two in the 125 if it works it would be nice lol
Update: came down in the morning from moving them yesterday and what do you know, of course they are hanging out next too each other as always. Maybe I got 2 best friends lol who knows but so far so good.
Yeah! I really didn't wanna have to get rid of one they are both beautiful. I wonder why they don't leave each other's side specially for cichlids like them too
I had a vieja synspilum that used stay along my male parachromis multifaciatus lol. He showed no interest in her but the female didn't care to swim near her crush lol
Your carpintis female? I had carpintis and salvini that used to do the same as well.
Yeah I believe it is a female due to the head shape. She literally HATES any other fish but this JD lol I should say any other cichlids she was in with tinfoils and could careless. But where the JD goes she goes. I wonder what makes them pick and choose like that, it's fascinating
