how do Cuban cichlids behave once they reach around 6 inches and up, mine is super tenacious at 2 inches and confrontational as they come, do they grow out of that? tell me about your Cuban cichlid! [video=youtube_share;j_WuZ6ZqDZ4]http://youtu.be/j_WuZ6ZqDZ4[/video] this is a video of my little Cuban smashing on his new tank mate!
 
My Cuban is around 6 1/2" now and definitely a feisty guy. He's the smallest in his tank(240g) except for a 4 1/2" Breidorhi and he holds his own with all of the fish. He gives a little gill flare and tail whack to my 11" male festae, but then runs and hides, and is always giving my big male 11" Jag crap. Lol. Definitely has spirit.

Yeah. You should keep an eye on that geo. They're not on the same level as the Cubans bro. Seperate them if the cub starts to chasing the geo.

im watching the tank as we speak, the geo is not threatened by the Cuban at all hes just being himself extremely active and outgoing chasing his reflection begging for food but my Cuban just keeps hiding and ambushing him starting a brawl but right now the Cuban is no match because the geo is bigger,tougher and has way more mouth. my geo is very aggressive toward the Cuban aswell but when the Cuban hits about 3 or 4inches its gonna be a whole new battle. im trying to grow out this Cuban to atleast 5 inches so I can put him in my 125 with my jag,dempsey and mayan. hes gonna be an important component of my dream team :))
