which is the toughest cichlids

so which is it post your opinion

 

Most agressive or most hardy? Im guessing u mean agressive

 

Other: Dovii

 

i said other and i say flowerhorn. they will fight, no matter the size difference. someone else on a idffernet forum just had their 3" FH kill their 6" dovii

 

wow, oh CM a HUGE dovii killed a FH but once they get matured they are insane :cry:

 

Convict's without a doubt!

 

im going with pikes.

 

ive never really had a dovii befor if i did i whould have put it on the list but i have had a red devil and they are one tough fish.

 

just wanted to bring this subject up to the top of the list again i want to get as may votes in as possible.

 

Bringing it back to he top again i think im going to call the poll officially over at 30 votes.

 

Which is the toughest cichlid

I'd say a butracoferi.(Pardon the spelling!) We had 3 in a 100 gal. with assorted agressive cichlids and they started to kill almost half of the fish in the tank, including one of their own kind. They woud chase and attack, water would fly out of the tank and down the walls,on the floor.Needless to say, I had to get rid of the other two! Nano.

 

I have recently come to the conslusion that if my male kenyi where about 8" - 10" (he's only about 4" which is full grown), I'd be afraid to stick my hand in the tank. He's always biting me when I put my hand in there, but luckily he can't do too much damage because of his size.
