What is the least aggressive large CA/SA Cichlid in your opinion/experience?

[Amphilophus88]

Vieja Synspilum, although mine could be a jerk sometimes

Red bay snooks are probably the biggest "least" aggressive CA. Most any of the geophagus are quite peaceful.

If you are a beginner tank get as many fish as you want in the same time and size as you can so they growup together. But whenever you put together great fish, it can not work. Dithers can help too.

Uaru - most wouldn't harm a fly and will become very sociable. Mine at lettuce frommmy fingers and hung out with a bunch of platies...

not my xperience - had what ended up as two males taking care of (and fin chunks out of) uros and freddies. they were madmen and had to go.

snooks and lyonsi are the least aggressive, followed by psittacus.

I have to say Chocolate cichlid as well. My ex-roommate had a full grown one in a 75 gallon with a common pleco. That cichlid was the coolest looking, most mild and curious cichlid I've seen. Before I moved out I got rid of some of my fish and put a 3" clown loach and two 5" shubunkin goldfish in with the Chocolate cichlid and pleco. The chocolate cichlid could have cared less. I thought for sure he'd go at the small Clown loach, but they're all still in that same tank 2 years later.

Ya gotta get a Chocolate, you won't be disappointed.

Yeah, Chocolate.

what size tank

 

[baldwincrown]

Choclotes. they are ample abundant to handle themselves but balmy manerd abundant to be kept with angels. At atomic in my experience.

Green Terror, have had four of them and never been aggressive in the least.

You guys know there are two species of "chocolate" cichlids?

Hypselecara temporalis, and Hypselecara coryphaenoides.

I'm assuming everyone is referring to temporalis.
