I just bought 4 siquia cichlids and can find nothing on their aggression. I have found nothing on this site or any other on this fishes aggression. Please let me know what tank mates could go with siquia cichlid, how easy they breed. Thankyou in advance!
Siquia cichlid aggression

The siquia's are basically the same as convicts, most info you can find on convicts should be applicable. Tankmates and success with them depends on tank size.
Siquia behavior is pretty typical of convict types, although I've seen some of the collection location variants be more aggressive than others. My male siquia from Rio Cabayo is the meanest "little" fish I've ever kept. He's rather large for a convict, probably around the 5-6" mark at this point, but is intolerant of any other fish in his tank. He killed at least 4 other fish before moving him to a permanently divided tank with the female on the other side of the divider. They spawn occasionally through the divider.
