Help me ID these 2 Cichlids

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
yeah O and butti, Os are pansies and it will get killed by the butti
 
thank you all for the help, comments, & advice. now i have an idea of what i have and their behavior. You all are right, now i should separate them after i saw a lot of attack from butti, i prefer to buy its (butti) own tank soon, for now i did put a divider from them. BTW how big the Butti when its full growth?, what is the min size of tank for em?

I believe you have a tiger oscar and like the others I believe that is a buttikoferi. If it is a butti, then think about rehoming one of them. My butti killed everything it was ever with except for a striped raphael and that was because he was mostly nocturnal and had body armor. My Butti would scrape its teeth against the glass on the tank, trying to get to you if you sat next to the tank with a white shirt on. Not sure why he hated white shirts but it was viscous!

yup, i feel so much lucky now after i knew about butti.

@all, thanks for all the appreciable comments. thank you :)
 
Buttis can be mixed with more aggressive and larger cichlids. Fishguts has a nice one in his tank of CA/SA cichlids. I hope you can keep them both. I just doubt very seriously that you can keep both the Oscar and Butti together. The Oscar is nowhere close to that kind of attitude!
