Hi guys had a few new world cichlid questions:

The first is how aggressive are Loiselle? I wana add a 7in one to my 110 tank (with Oscar (9in), Red terror (7in - true festae), and small JD wondering if it has the typical parachromis attitude?

the second is how fast to Veija Argentea grow. I have a 2-3in long argentea (in a different tank then above) who seemed to have barely grown at all in 4 months. Are these guys slow growers?

Thanks for the help!
 
I wouldn't recommend you adding any other fish in there. A 110 gallon tank is not enough to really house does guys regardless of the footprint. Plus you might offset the balance and pecking order already there. I'd some target fish and some active bottom feeders if you're looking for more movement.

Really over stocked? With those three fish? Looks so empty and water quality is always perfect

Loiselle are not as aggressive, IMO, as Freddys, RTM, Jags and Dovii, but they can still be aggressive. Also, my Argentea have always been a little slower then average growers, but not too bad... def not as bad as say Grammode. Good luck if you decide to get a Loiselle.
 
loisellei in my experience are not aggressive. Really beautiful fish. I had a pair, the male beat the hell out of the female after they spawned and took control of the fry. Had her in a tank with a small trimac growout to recover. When she did, I added the male back and the trimac took him out. Here's her with her trimac boyfriend. And another of the male with the fry before his untimely death.
