I have a male that is about 3'' in a planted tank with some other juvi CA cichlids and some blood fin tetras. My Deppi ate all of my java moss and watched him kill and eat a 2'' blood fin tetra. I can't beleive the deppi ate that whole blood fin that was nearly the same size. Pretty crazy and cool fish.
 
Thanks for sharing that. Now I know not to put j. moss in there with mine. my 4.5" female killed one of my mollies. But she hasn't killed the buenos aires tetras I have in my 40g breeder with her. She is also in with a 2" EBJD, 2.5" carpintis and a 3" carpintis. The 3" carpintis tries to pick fights but loses.

I'm sure that might change w/ your carpintis once he or she gets bigger. My deppi is very peaceful w/ the other cichlids. He had a little battle w/ a female HRP, but no damage. My guy seems to be growing pretty fast. Much faster then the h. cyano I had.
