good semi aggressive cichlids

[Fry]

is a carpintis semi agressive? and do they grow fast?

no, a carpintis is considered aggressive, they grow not too fast, not too slow

 

[Dovii dude]

Try a Chocolate cichlid,not overly aggressive,but wont back down(plus pretty colorful when full grown)

i agree on the chocolates, also Amp. robertsoni if looking for a CA.

Grammodes, salvini, vieja, and carpinte can all be very aggressive at times and I would exclude them from the list.

well, i consider those semi, but i'm into all the big cichlids. and not the small ones. so compared to dovii, umbee's etc, i consider these semi. but whatever, i now understand what you guys mean. from those species i have never had one kill another fish.

yah true salvini can be nice or really mean green terrors can be nice sometimes i supose but i've only heard that grammodes are nasty cichlids but compared to an umbee not much could be called aggressive

i think geophagus are quite pretty and not terribly aggressive.
severums are also good.

can i keep a carpintis and dempsey together? i have, but after a while the carpintis died of heater failure.
