Need info on Freddy's please

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
they are the friendlier of the parachromis i believe. they get along better than jags and dovi of course. i had a group of 4 freddies at one point about 4'' each. some nipped fins. feed like you would any large CA/SA cichlid.
 
when I had them I found them to be pretty much like mini-jags even though they seemed to tolerate tankmates that would be considered not aggressive enough, like some Cryptoheros.
 
mine are relatively peaceful but can hold their own, grow pretty fast, reach 12", get large pseudo canines like all other parachromis, eat like oscars but are not as messy, and they have good personalities.
 
Here's my 13" male freddy. He would tolerate tankmates except when in breeding mode and protecting fry. He used to be in my 210 g tank with other parachromis and ruled the tank. Now, he's in my 360 with Vieja's and some other cichlids
