New Black Belt Cichlid
- Thread starter browner loves dovii
- Start date
Mines is growing relatively slow as for what can go in a 125 with it I'd try medium tough cichlids like JDs,green terror but black belts have a reputation for being killers so anything is at risk of getting murdered at some point

I was thinkin about some Jewels with small caves they would be able to hide in once he got bigger cause I know BB have a bad reputation and he already act like he don't like you come near his tank lol
And Mike do you notice that yours like to eat a lot if veggies cause I have read that in wild that I there main diet
Mine does enjoy foods that have a higher veggie count but I haven't got it to actually eat vegetables

I had one that was almost 12 inch after year. Had to remove him because he was being chased by a Midas.
But he was pretty tough and almost keeping up with the Midas.
Yes some jewels or convicts would be good company. Nothing too big because that will be seen as direct competition.

so I have another ? about BB at what size can you usually see the diff between a male and female and what do you look for
Mine is growing soooo slow. It hooked up with my Honduran Red Point so I took them out of the 60 community tank. They have spawned twice and it is still only as big as a regular Convict.
