growth rate comparison

[bukster]

how does the growth rate of a veija argentea compare to a managuense? my jags are growing pretty quick and i just wanna make sure the argentea will keep up. thanks in advance

Managuense grow fast er but the argentea will be able to keep up If they let the managuense live long enough. You'll need space to keep these to species together. managuense tend to provoke fights & argentea tend to end them along with the life of the other fish.

thanks. if they were all female would that help ease the aggression at all?

either you have crazy argentea or weak ass manas

what are you saying cichlidsomniac? that the argentea is a weaker fish than the managuense's?

managuense are much better equipped to kill than argentea, they have much larger teeth and stronger jaws, I have both and you certainly could mix them it would just depend on the individual fish, but if they were get in a fight i would expect the managuense to come on top.

i think it would work in 180g just fine maybe a 125g but no less

well that'll work. right now i've got a 125 and a 150 but i'm always looking for a 24" tank for the right price
