Cichlid fights with the oddest outcomes

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
7-8'' jag fighting a6 1/2'' midas midas wins every time or 6'' jag fighting a 4.5'' iouselli louselli wins all the time. my jags seem to be push overs lol.
 
Not really fights, but odd pecking order.

In my grow out tank, 4" Geophagus would chase 3.5" Jack Dempsey, who would chase 3-4" (he grew) oscar, who would chase the Geophagus. I guess that's one way to evenly distribute the aggresion.

Now in my big display tank, the 4.5" oscar will chase my archer fish, who chases my big male convict, who chases the oscar.
Wait, never mind. Archer fish found his balls and now chases the oscar too. :P
 
IME Jags aren't as aggressive as many think. I'm sure there are plenty of mean ones out there, but I've kept breeding pairs in a mixed CA tank w/ little issues.

Back on topic, I've had my jack dempsey own my festae and jag...had to get rid of the JD..haha...
