    What are some smaller Aggressive Cichlids that will work in a smaller tank? I was thinking Electric Yellows but dont know much about it.

    Idunno about you, but I am a huge fan of the Blue German Ram...I used to have one, beautiful...

    Only thing is they are of the peaceful type....and shouldn't be placed with aggressive fishies...they should be in a community tank...

    had one and it was the star of my FW tank...

    Plus they prefer pristine water conditions...

    I haven't had a fresh water tank in like 10 years the Africans are my sons tank but when I did I had 125 with a pair of red devils and a paku (Not sure if i spelled that right) but he was huge the size of a frying pan and the devils about 12 inches each
