Almost no aggression; though I suppose in 3 or 4 months that will change ;)

My male agassizii once mature was one of the most dominant and aggressive fish I have kept...(and that includes several CA cichlids...). Maybe they are not all like that though...

Yea - i've heard a wide spectrum from them being extremely docile to very aggressive. This is a 29 community tank - but after i move they will get to keep the tank but most of the other stocking will be removed. While not scaped in a @MacZ approved fashion it is imho well scaped with lots of hiding places. I had four hongsloi in it for 2 years and they always managed to find adequate hiding places.

Anyway he started to show a little aggression towards her yesterday so she moved to the other side of the aquarium where he couldn't see her and all was well. I just can't bring myself to do the traditional barren apiso tank; i guess i like green too much.

Btw there are two angels in there - they are likely runts so long term i'm not sure what to do with them - backstory i purchased a set of dime size angels and grew them out in the 29 till they were a bit larger than nickels then moved them to the 120 but the two runts are too small for the 120; the black one in particular will likely not grow much larger the platinum still has a chance of getting a little larger - the other 11 are in the 120 till i decide which ones to keep and which ones to give away - unfortunately they are a really nice set and i'm not sure which ones to get rid of yet - probably wait till i can sex them or they start bickering and i feel i have to take action. If they can live in harmony for 8 more months they will get a 10ftx4ft tank and maybe i'll keep them all - bleh i hate having to decide which to keep and which to give away - but the runts i can't give away so they will probably get a basement tank or stay with the apisto if there is not conflicts.
