yeah just got a 4 inch salvini a couple weeks ago and he is mean for his size.

I've always found salvini's to be among the most aggressive of the small CA/SA cichlids.

FOR ITS SIZE, IM GOING WITH CONS

 

[fredmenezes]

i think red devils are number one aggressive from what i have experienced

I was wondering if anybody knew about neolamprologus tetracanthus cichlids from lake tangi. I bought five and was wondering what they look like when they grow up and how big they get. THANKS

I'm thinking Auratus

Pound for pound, Mbuna cichlids.

The overall meanest fish I've kept is my Crenicichla strigata. Nasty temper.

From species I've kept, doviis top the list followed by buttikoferis when it comes to dominating multi-species tanks. I have a bunch of baby umbees and they are only 2.5 inches so I haven't seen what they are capable of.
