you cant really tell in the pic but its got a thin res line at the end of the dorsal fin and nice looking spekles throughout the front side of the body
I could be wrong but I think that fish is gonna develop a bad attitude..

cant be as bad as my girlfriends attitude so ill cope.LOL i love how the look fullgrown.any suggestions as for tankmates? oscars, reddevil?no my girlfriend wont get in the tank.i already asked
I wouls stay with mid-agression level cichlids. With some argentea's you can put "friendly" fish, and with some you cant. I would think a jack dempsey and a LARGER oscar would be good.

LOL! I have the same issue with my Wife!
She said my tank is big enough to bury her in it.......
I said I like my tank to much to do that!
hahaha yeah, so these fish are pretty aggressive huh?like compared to a reddevil?and is it like territorial aggressiveness or just senseless brutality? hes defintely est. territory in the planted but the tetras in the tank with him are too fast i think to get messed up.hes also really small still but he has put on a good half inch in the last 3 weeks. im gonna wait till hes like 4.5" to put him in the big one
