- I just saw a 5 inch Texas cichlid tonight sharing a 55gal with a Red Devil,
- some little yellow/violet striped African cichlid, and a couple of other
- cichlids, and let me tell you -- that thing was not just defending its
- territory in the tank, it was going after the other cichlids all over the tank!
- Those guys are _mean_! Makes my 6" Oscar look like a neon tetra! :-)
