Information on Amphilophus sagittae

Postby Bmarce » Fri Feb 10, 2012 12:17 am

Hello everyone, I have been reading this website for years but I only recently decided to join up. I have a few question that I hope you can answer.

I have been keeping large central and south American cichlids since the early 1990's. I recently moved across the country, and I am just starting to setup some of my tanks again. I am interested in keeping a new species. I was browsing Jeff Rapps stocklist when Amphilophus sagittae caught my attention. I have done some research on the internet and have found that popular opinion says that Amphilophus sagittae tend to be the most aggressive members of the Red Devil complex.To those of you have who have kept them, how aggressive do Amphilophus sagittae tend to be? How do they compare to labiatus or citrinellus ? I am experienced with both Red Devils and Midas cichlids, are sagittae really demonstrably more aggressive? Could I keep a full grown pair in a 150 or 180 gallon tank?

I appreciate your responses.
