he's always been rude to me.
and
because I was expecting to get stunned.
He also lied last time that he said his Dovii was the best looking Dovii on mfk..
I've got some.
Specs can be rough but mostly between themselves.
Nice contribution to the thread .... NOT!!
I have my spectabilis pair in with a bunch of severums and acara types and there is very little aggression. Much of their aggression is more towards conspecifics, and very sporadic against heterospecifics. My spectabilis do nothing more than short chases now and then (no sustained pursuits) with nothing really coming of it. They get more aggressive at feeding time ... they just want all the food. Now when they spawn, that's a different story. They can get a little "roughhouse-ish". This is my opinion based upon two specs in a 150G. I've not kept them with Satanoperca or heckelii but you can always give it a trial period. Watch them closely and if problems arise , you can pull the plug on them.Aggression mostly occurs when fish are establishing a pecking order, but once established, things can settle down markedly. Also raising the fish together from a small size is the best way to go. In time they develop a tolerance for one another. Just provide a larger tank(>120G) and put in lots of structure and sight-line breaks.
What Jim has already said is perfect. Try it out and see. I kept mine, the ones in the pictures in fact, with Satanoperca leucosticta and daemon. Basically 12 of those eartheaters with 4 specs. The specs didn't care for the eartheaters, but they sure did hate each other. They were beating up each other pretty good so I gave up on two of them. The middle two sizes ones went to Forrest and I kept the biggest and smallest. I not longer have the eartheaters, but from the time I've owned them all together in one tank, the specs left the eartheaters alone.
