Here are pictures of my fish. There is a Oscar, Jack Dempsy, Green Severum, Blue Texas Cichlid and the aforementioned Jaguar Cichlid. There are more over and cichlidgallery and they can be clicked on for some very large pictures.

They look like they get along rather well. How large is your tank and the fish. Good pics.

The fish do get along rather well, I assume the oscar and jag are both females. The Oscar is roughly 12" tip to tail, the jag is about 9 or so, the Texas might be 5 or 6, the pleco is about the same size as the texas, the jack is 4 or 5 inches and the severum is also 4 to 5 inches.

As for the agressive: sometimes the oscar and jag don't see eye to eye and they have to settle things. Most of the time the Oscar kind of pushes the jag around. When aggrevated the jag will back the oscar into a corner. They once had a battle over the biowheel I put in the tank to season the new filter, jag won and I had to remove the prize before the fight became bloody. The Severum fights with the texas and the Jack backs up the Severum, even though the severum will also nudge the jack around. All in all they do get along nicely.

They are in a 65 gallon aquarium with a tetratec pf500 and a emperor 400 with a marineland 660 power head stirring up the water and adding some bubbles. I use the python for weekly water changes and just got a phosphate sponge. All seems well but when I do get a house I hope to upgrade to a 180 gallon tank to let them stretch out a bit more.
