From what I've seen they do well with new worlds. I've never seen them with Africans. Mine is aggressive, but has never killed anything. Right now he's in a 55 with a small Mayan and Firemouth that are both growing out. No tank divider but plenty of hiding space. On occassion he chases them, but never catches them. On other occassions he lets them swim in the open without paying them much attention.
ittle be fine i used to have one, just traded it in last week i kind of regret it now! beautiful fish.
they have the same temperement as an oscar, i kno its african (madagascar i believe) but the same personality
I keep mine with new world cichlids mostly, but have seen them in tanks with various haps like Dimidochromis and seem to do well.
Hi, I have Polleni in several tanks. The "small spot" seems to be more aggressive than the "Large spot" variety but they are in with: 60 african mbuna in a 150; 9 frontosa, 30 other africans in a 220, 3 pollenis in with 8 buttekofferis, pink fenestratums and (very fast) madagascar rainbows in a 90 extra tall. They seem to be roughest on each other, and are good citizens in "bad neighborhoods" like cichlid tanks.
