what up ive got a 8in mayan with a 3in firemouth and a mixed african they all get along great in my 72 gallon, max size for this fish is 12in dont let anyone tell ya different and they are massive aggressive thats why there called orange tigers you need at least 72 gallon or bigger for this fish

How aggressive can it be if it's in with a 3" fire mouth. I've had about 8 of them over the years and haven't had one that was overly aggressive. I know each fish is an individual i'm speaking from my experience.
 
go for it there mean though cause my 8 in. female paired up with my 14 in mang.
