bocourti or argentea?

[Gage]

hey guys, im thinking i will go with one of these, but i dunno which one, if you guys had the choice between F1 Cichlasoma bocourti or F1 Vieja argentea, which would you choose?

 

[Modest_Man]

I have both, bocourti are more outgoing (even at a smaller size) but I like the look of argentea better.

It's a personal choice, no one can tell you what one to get.

i want them both the same and i only have one tank...this is why i asked.

ill rephrase my question, which one is the funner spp to keep? they will be alone, and maybe dithers if i find they are happier with dithers.

rapps argenteas come in a few days for me! =D
i'd go with either, both are stunning fish.
it's a choice i think you'd have to make, i like args though.

i know, but i really suck at making choices, which one grows faster?

 

[Dmaan.]

almost posative bacourti's grow faster.
i think argentea's are relatively slow growers.
some people got some quick growing args.

how fast did your argenteas grow? how fast do bocourti grow? id like to have a nice large show fish.

It all depends in may factors. Bocourti eats a lot and grows faster.
