Solo Cichlid versus Future Tankmates

[Azedenkae]

let me clear somthing up.

it really irritates me how there is people on here, who claim to know anything, and everything about American Cichlids.
Sure there are probably people who will know quite a lot, and still they could not answer this question.

the honest truth is....

EVERY CICHLID IS DIFFERENT

you cant say that it WILL be agressive, you do not know that.

i have kept a 8 inch dovii alone for his whole life to spend at least 9 months with 5 small fenestratus around 5 inches with no dramas.

every fish is different, so dont act like you know all the ****, and if you dont have the experience dont give a bull**** answer

I think we all understand that, though when we normally say 'this fish is aggressive' or 'that fish is placid', we're more talking of them as a whole, or a tendency, rather than 'all of these fish are crazy' or whatever. ) Perhaps.

Had a bad day?

Does anyone in this thread stated any certainty, anything beyond their experience or opinion?

Is there, anywhere in this thread, a reply such as you describe, in your irritating way?

Pray enlighten us.

Interesting... well thanks guys a bunch! What's going on is actually that I have some fries, the largest one is 3cm long and is already very mean, chasing the others around. I have 4 in a 2ft atm, and I kinda feel like reducing that number to just one (I have a 4ft that contains the rest of the siblings of these lil' things, I can always chuck ones back and forth). I was just thinking that one by itself might allow it to grow much faster, but yeah in the future I'd want it to have tankmates/breed, and being super gnarly isn't gonna help. XD

What do you guys reckon? The fish in question are Ellicons (Ellioti x Convict hybrids), so I assume they won't be as aggressive as Doviis and the likes, hopefully.

Well you could take the other siblings out but when you wanna add another fish it should be one of the opposite sex just so it lessens this fishes immediate aggressive response. Just my thoughts
