Thorichthys aureus, mixteco or pasionies

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i have t. passiones and they are very aggresive,they constantly nip and chase ny other cichlids,even though all of them are larger than they are.
but i do love the colors on them.

What size tank and what are some the tank mates? This guy is keeping my robertsoni, deppi, and JD at the end of the 6' tank. These three can move out into other areas of the tank or they will be chased.
 
My Mixteco Gold thinks he runs the tsnk since he is biggest at 6". He doesn't have a particular territory he guards but roams the tank. He will flair and chase others but is not a relentless stalker.

Had an Ellioti that was very aggresive and had to be removed.

Right now the hybrids have fry and occupy the right side. The Mixteco is in his striped aggressive mode.
