Are they generally more or less aggressive than P. Loisellei or P. Friedrichsthalii? Get some pics up too if you got em! I love these guys, but mine are fairly tiny at the moment.

lol quinns are right here.

the first to are from like 8 months ago.

the last one is from like 5 months ago lol.

i'll get more pictures of them if he ever let's me come over again.
he lives like down the block but never wants to chill lol.
 
You're a homo Dakota, you can come over right now haha.


-Devon: This fish is nasty, probably inch for inch the toughest fish I've ever owned. At 4" it took on a 9" Dovii I no longer have, and that's why it has a damaged dorsal in the one picture. In my CA community tank it's 3rd on the totem poll after the Pike and Red Devil, whom are triple his size easily. He control's the larger Dovii and Motaguense, as well as the plecos and Silver Dollars. I have had him with siblings, which he either mutilated, or killed off. He's also killed Umbee's his size and bigger as well. His favorite target was my 5" Argentea when he was about 6". These things are really nasty!
 
yep I have one I bought from fishfarm over a year ago its about 8-9 in never seen such a wicked fish it will destroy everything in the tank. I mentioned this a year ago here on mfk he floats on top aiming down like a torpedo then with lightning speed attacks grabs onto gill plate and does the alligater death roll.simply amazing to watch someone gave this species super adrenelin. hes in the tank in my avitar all by his lonesome now.lol
 
OH MY GOD!!! HAHA this fish sounds amazing! Cant wait till mine get bigger!!!!

Man bigriver, your explanation sounded badass haha!

Thanks Quinn and big river!.... And Dakota for the pics..... :D

Loisellei I have a lonely female in with 2 of the other 5 remaining Parachromis sp. I have found the Freddies as well just not sure it will survive in any of my tanks right now. Nice beautiful cichlid can't wait to see future updates.

I have owned both and they do not act at all like them more like hornets of the water world the other 5 had to be sold just would not tolerate each other.god forbid a dovii was ever like this.aquamojo has some and seem fine so it may just be my 1 big guy that causes all the mayhem.definatly needs to be studied further to see what classification it ends up with.
