curious of what folks got to say

[cornbread_5]

i am not sure about other people but i was wondering about some nice cichlids that are predatory and or aggressive . I am think about species of cichlids that are not common or should i say alot of people do not have . I mean i know people have all types. But more people have species such as the jaguar or the dovii. So i am looking into something uncommon and you are most likely not to see in the Local Fish Store

Fast growning or slow growers? About what size tank? Grammodes if you prefer a slow grower. Istlanum will grow slightly faster.

 

[cornbread_5]

tank size or slower grower doesn;t matter not huge tanks , but i still wanna hear all the options

and the species of fish does not have to resemble a jag or dovii

parrot cichlids are pretty rare, and not too many keep them.

Caquetaia Umbriferus= usually aggressive..And is Predatory. Mouth like Jag but BIGGER ;D

There's one..

Caquetaia in general are nice looking, and Predatory for the most part... Agression I have only seen and experienced Umbee's in that class

parrot cichlids are ridiculously popular in eastern washington... but i love them popular or not. But whats not to popular is the jewel cichlid. anyways i have seen a lot. I used to have one and she was a whench. fun to watch though!

i was thinking jewel but if i went that route i would go with frempongi

 

[killerfish]

i would strongly suggest the other parachromis species red toger motas and loisellies are both aggressive and preditory but are also very colorful they have a ton of personality and don't get that big males useually won't get mush bigger then a foot but can and they aren't that common

or caquetaia are very nice fish umbee cichlids grow huge but are very nice fish to keep like said all caquetaia are preditory the smaller species aren't very aggressive but are most certainly preditory

They still are fish than non-hobbyists rarely see, since places like petsmart and petco obviously don't sell them. I really want one to be honest.
