My oscars pretty mellow, he will get moody occasionally but hes not aggressive. I have a small 1 parrot in the tank that is easily edible but he never touched it.
Chocolate cichlid. Mine is at almost 7" and swims/eats with a 2" Botia Striata loach. Granted the Chocolate eats 95% of the food that enters the tank not meant for him (algae tabs for the pleco and loach), but he doesn't go after his tank mates.
awesome thx for the feedback. im looking for good not to aggressive SA tank mates. I currently have:
1- Gold sev. 3.5" - 4"
3- Satanoperca leucosticta 5"
2- Blue Acara 2" - 2.5"
3 -Soon to be festivums 2"
Today I was going to go out and get 3 festivum as well. Any other ideas would be much obliged. The tank is a 150g btw. Thx again.
Chalk yet another vote for S. jurupari - by far the most "neutral" cichlid I know of. They are neither aggressive nor completely shy towards other species.
I hardly think they would even harm the smallest of fishes. They remind me of deer or cows for some reason - just totally inert and harmless.
