nice i have two of these but gtg thx young

Hey John.. If I got this guy what are possible tank mates?

Depends a lot on the individual, but normally You can keep them in a ca/sa community when smaller. Mine didn't get real agressive till 9-10" females tend to be more agressive when smaller and males when larger.Also they get more agressive with age and size

I kept mine with Jd,midas,convicts and similarly agressive guys.They were in a 135.Now i can't keep anything with the male, at least not in his 75.He will have to have the 135 soon

Thanks.. I'm being curious right now... this one is about 3 1/2". wasn't sure if it would mix in or need a home of its own...

Brian, it looks like a male, you would have at least 2 yrs before there would be real problems(most likely anyways)

WOW......amazing looking fish...nice colors!!! sweet!!

Thanks alot John.. I appreciate the info... I don't know alot on these guys, so I need some help here... Figured you were among the "go-to" guys on here for the SA/CA fish.. thanks again...

Nice
