very aggressive

 

[frogman5]

lol good list so far

 

[Eric A]

very aggressive

Really? Cichla agressive? Mabye, but not for their size?

What about tankmates and their minimum sizes.

 

[mjuniorc]

what do you mean not for their size?
if youre looking for smaller sp.... tems is not the way to go

 

[Eric A]

No No, I like the size. I just mean is their as much agro per inch as a convict per inch?

 

[mjuniorc]

hahahahahahahaha..... what do you think......?
size has alot to do with aggression with any fish... dont ya think.... your looking @ a fish that gets 26+inches.....

ill break this down.... there are alot of differents sp. of temensis..
all get as big as 26+inches, very aggressive to other tankmates...
same as all cichla temp needs to be up....
speckles on the tem dissapear when fully matured!
you need a very big enclosure if you plan to house them for life.....
tankmates??? IMO.. only cichla will be best for a tem... but if you are looking for other types... make sure they can keep up with the growth spurts that the tem has.. or else it will dissapear before your eyes!!
