RBP or Gold Spilo?

They are two very different fish so its hard to say,
One is a solitary species which is aggressive toward eachother and the other is used to being a group and feel more comfortable and work together in a group.
Both can be active depending on setup and amount of fish but from experience a rbp shoal would be more active and comfortable then a group of macs, although every fish is different so there may be some mac shoals that are comfortable and very active.
Over all I would say a solo mac is more aggressive than an rbp

i have 4 macs together, and the aggression tends to come in waves. the 2 bigger macs would turn on the smaller 2 every now and again, but no damage beyond torn and nipped fins, and the occasional bite mark. in my opinion tho, i would have rather had a school of red bellies over macs. just for appeal, activity, and the macs aren't what there genus advertises. they are pretty shy and only eat when the lights are out.
