    What?? They get stuck in a Jags mouth and suffocate them?????
    They do make good Jag food though....... :p

    The Jaguar Cichlid has serious PMS when it comes to breeding time!!!!!! :evil:

    I apparently have a young wolf fish and I must say it is like the lazies fish around in my tank. I can move it around by just bumping it so maybe when it gets bigger it will become a problem....lol

    Parrot cichlid (the hybrid), hands down. Of all the fish that I have been stupid enough to put my hand next to, the one experience with a Parrot has put me off these buggers for life. My hand wasn't even in the water for two seconds before a 15cm-brusier of a fish effectively removed the skin from the end of my index finger...

    I had 9 breeding pairs of brichardi's and nothing dare enter that tank, very aggressive when fry is around. I watch one female take out her partner because he ate her fry.
