Mine is 10-12" with 2 sev, 2 heckellii, a bellycrawler, 3 sd and a polleni. Tank is 72x30x25. He does some typical cichlid posturing with the sevs and ignores the heckellii. The bellycrawler is occasionally annoyed by said posturing and runs up on them like he's the law, the syn retreats with his tail between his legs.
That's why i was curious about the composition. From everything I've read on the forums here, it seems like theyre on the same aggression level as chocolates. the 1 out of 10 times Syns have been called aggressive it seems they were mixed up with bifasciatus which I know are complete terrors.
I have a syn that has now grown to about 9" and is the biggest fish in my 180, and has been together with a bunch of SA and CA for the past 1.5 year. My syn is pretty mellow and has rarely shown any aggression towards any of its tankmates. The vid below was shot last Nov.

Awesome tank man ! Is that a zonatus in there ? Who is the boss ?

The closest thing to a boss right now is my 9"+ hartwegi. There are no zonatus in there. You're probably referring to the bigger blue fenestratus
My big male is pretty peaceful. He does just plow through the other fish like a bowling ball lol.
