jgentry;2966207; said:Cichlids don't school. Psittacus are pretty aggressive to there own kind. I would only do one or a mated pair unless you have a huge tank that can easily hold 5-7 of them. They can get 13-15 inches in home aquariums pretty easily.
I didnt mean school like tetras for example.... i meant like hang around other H psittacus, like discus, angelfish, and uarus like to do when they are young.
