Is All Chilids agresive .

Question
 

Answer
Hi Gary,

In short, mostly.  All African cichlids will be aggressive and territorial, but when kept with other african cichlids in a big enough tank they'll all live peacefully together.  South American cichlids, on the other hand, are not all bad.  Angelfish are actually South American cichlids and aren't usually aggressive in a community tank.  But other South Americans like Oscars and Jack Dempseys and Jewels and Convicts will be aggressive toward other fish.  It's just their nature.
