I went fishing at a local river today and ended up collecting some TX cichlid fry, they are a little smaller than my FM fry but they all seem to get along for now. I moved the FM's and TX into my 90 with a 1" oscar (13 fish total) so they have tons of room atm however I wonder if I will be able to keep any TX with the FM's? I plan to narrow down the TX to just one male but would he be just too agressive/big to keep with the FM's?

You're lucky you live in Texas because you could possibly catch a Red Texas.

red texas are a weird hybrid of a bunch of different fish, you definitely wouldn't catch one in the wild

They're is a possibility, I've seen weirder things caught then a hybrid Texas.

I think you will be fine with the single texas in the 210 with your FM. There is always a chance that he could single out one of the FM out and kill it but with that size tank they should have plenty of room to run and hide.
