So, 4 years ago I posted my Texas/Mayan hybrids. Since then, only one of them has survived. The surviving cichlid killed the other and is the most aggressive fish I've ever owned. He's my favorite fish and he has become a beautiful specimen! If anyone else has this cross, share pictures.

You want to put tankmates in with that!! And people got upset with my fahaka community tank lol.... anyway it will need to be either large full grown aggressive cichlid species, to give them a chance to defend themselves, jag, Red Devil etc...However this could end up as a bloodbath. Or go totally non-cichlid and try with with a totally different body type such as birchir, snakehead, pike cichlid (I know it's a cichlid but bear with me), catfish or Odeo pike caracin. Or just do a large schooling dither fish? All just ideas and dependant on what you like and the tank size you upgrade to. But it will be a bit of trial and error.
It sounds awesome but are you going to be able to find these fish full size, or at least large juveniles, as anything less will get shredded. That's the issue I have had with my fahaka community tank, just finding decent sized possibilities. I have given up and am growing out a bunch of tiddlers in my other tank too get the fish I want to add. It's really hard adding fish to a tank with a large aggressive dominate fish, but good luck and keep us posted.
