My firemouth has grown to be one foot long. I have a 100 gallon tank with an oscar, a firemouth, a jack dempsy, and a goldfish that does not let any other fish chase him. But he probably wont last that long. These fish all came from my boyfriend one christmas. I have always thought their colors were superb. I love my firemouths to death.

Blue acaras are amazing for american cichlids as I have one in by 320G tank with 5 pearl of likomas, a tropheus moori, 2 rainbow sharks, a red tail shark, 2 koi, a bumblebee catfish, talking cat, pleco, 2 peackocks(midnight and sunfire)and 2 female convicts(and 4 apple snails haha). Never seen fish that get on so well and are so happy ;)) there is so much space for them they never ever fight

i have had a couple of these for two months and i have found them to be non-agressive. altough non-agressive they will still stand up to my fully grown firemouth and my giant snakeskin gourami. they always come to the front of the tank when someone is in the room. they are great.

I have 6 Jelly Bean Parrots. The oldest is about 5 months old and the youngest is about 2 months. They are all quite small, the oldest being about 2 inches in length. I noticed the other day that they have started to breed. I have about 30 or 40 babies in the tank now. I had no idea that they could breed this early, also everyone told me that these fish are sterile but they seem to breed quite well. The parents of the fish that I have are also the hybrid Jelly Bean Parrots.

They are great little fish, and they are beautiful as well. Their natural color is a pearly white with a mother of pearl type shimmer to it. They can be a bit territorial and will fight over the best caves but get along fine other than that. None of mine have ever injured each other in there little spats. They also love to follow you if you walk by the tank. Now I just have to find homes for about 40 of the little buggers. Geeze.

We have 2 parrot fish, both orange. The smaller one is about 4' and the larger one is about 8'. The bigger one not only picks on the smaller one, but also likes to steal the algae chip away from our 12' plecostomus. It likes to dig holes by moving the gravel with his mouth and if you put your arm in there to fill in the holes, it will ram into your arm. Should I put this fish in a tank of its own?

I had three of these "blue beauty of the malawi lake". They are all 3-4 inch in length and I raised them in 55 gallon tank mixed along with blood parrot and other fish. These fish love peace! They never bully or bother any other fish, but I dont know how will they act if the time for spawning had came - maybe they will get naughty!
They are the most beautiful blue cichlid from all of other african's mbuna cichlid to me! Rumor said they are slow in growth rate but I dont really care about that... As long as they are healthy and happy, I will love them forever!

Red Devils are really really aggressive. When they lay eggs don't even think about messing with that fish. I have one and when they lay eggs they're cheeks get puffy and all they do is watch your every move. They are not bad fish but they're just too aggressive for me.
