How aggressive are your cichla?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
all my bass get along 2 12'' monos 1 14'' tem and 11'' tem their in with an aro 20'[
they all get along but it took like 2 weeks of heated battles now at night tthey all go to the bottom of the tank and stack up and sleep with each other its very crazy when i turn on the light in the morning they are always grouped and at the bottom its funny
 
my 3 ocells are constantly ramming into each other at full speed and flaring their gills at each other. They even go after my venezuelan creni thats bigger than them. Nothing serious though. Cant wait till i start my Temensis grow out Project. haaaaaa
 
so far, the monos that i got a couple months ago are the most aggressive, they constantly pick on the orinos and each other. and now that my big oscar is in the tank with them we have some very interesting battles. unless they are full. then they all just hang out and give each other dirty looks.

i never had aggression issues with my ocellaris or my tems, they all got along great most of the time. only minor skirmishes now and then. and until i brought these monos and orinos home the most aggressive cichla i've had are my orinos in the 135 gallon in my room.
