Good combo?

jason i wish it worked for me, i tride that many times with Gambusia affinis and capoeta damascina but they never had time to mate they were all eaten in 2 days even when i put in the tank 100 of them

what size was the cichlid you were trying this with? like I said above, I wouldn't attempt this unless I was starting out with the smallest carpintis I could get ahold of (1-1.5") and some decent sized swords/mollies/platys (2" or more).

aint got the carpintis yet, but yeah i wanna get the smallest possible any way! At that sort of size is there any way to tell the sex?

My experince with texas (carpinte) says that they are not nearly ass agressive as this thread makes them out to be. (granted I mostly keep jaguars and the like so it might be relative)

I have succefully kept them with nicaragua cichlids, festae, Mossanbicus Mossanbicus and even severums.
