I'm not even sure if this is the right place to put this but here it goes anyway.

does anyone keep the Buttikoferis Tilapia? aka Tiger tilapia, zebra tilapia, hornet tilapia.

how fast do they grow? i heared they reach a foot or so and that they are INCREDIBLY MEAN.]

if you got them, please do post some pics:)

oh, and info about the vieja argentea will also do. I'm thinking about getting these fishes.
 
Here's mine

Is there any way to get these things to behave with tankmates?

If they are in something big, IE bigger than 180 gallons with a few other similar sized fish, can they be tame? EVER? Certainly in the wild fish can keep their distance from them. It must be possible in captivity, right?
 
There best to be kept by there self but it is possible to keep with tankmates u , you just have to try , its hit and miss, just gotta watch them and get hiding spots

man i had a beautiful baby buttikoferi, spent $40 bucks on a 2inch butti and made the mistake of my life, by putting it in my large CA/SA and shark tank he only lasted a couple of days before he was considered lunch. sad day, yes it was
 
they are really amazing fish and are so beautiful they are the african frontosa with american cichlid fight in them. would any one reccomend keeping these with a red devil a green terror and a firemouth plus some giant danios?
