Do not forget one thing guys it depends what character your fish have. Any of thouse cichlids could be dominating each other. In this case the Trimac is the bigger body sized fish.

Years ago I was lucky enough to get my hands on a pair of breeding five star Generals the male was super aggressive for their size they are as tough as any this four inch male started fighting with my 10 inch tiger Oscar and beat the hell out of him I couldn’t believe it it’s not the size of the fish in the fight it’s the size of the fight in the fish
I definitely believe and agree with you! I've had 5 star generals they are nasty. I'm actually getting the largest of the 5 star general this month the hemichromis faciatus
How big is your tank as you’re going to need a really big tank for the Jag and butti because the jag and butti can both get 2 feet long the jag can weigh 3 pounds and the butti can weigh 11 pounds the red devil and trimac both only get 14 inches long
@@artcarrasco9 I’ve seen Buttikoferi top out at 16-18 inches in huge aquariums, most are around 12-16 though. Big jags can get to 18 but they need to live very long for that, most males top out at 16 inches as well.
@@artcarrasco9 yet there’s evidence otherwise that shows them growing larger than 14 inches. My female was 12 inches, and males in cichlids are fairly bigger. A species with a 14 inch max isn’t gonna have a female get to 12 inches.
@@artcarrasco9 I have seen and I have heard buddy. Explain why my FEMALE Butti topped out at 12 inches then? If you knew anything about cichlid morphology you’d know that female cichlids are usually 4-6 inches smaller than males. Literally the data even backs up this claim. No one’s ever seen a 12 inch female Citrinellus or Labiatus. Why? Because males max out at 12-15 inches females are generally in the 8-10 inch range. Another species that’s similarly sized are RTM’s (Motaguense) and females in those species don’t get anywhere near 12 inches. More like 8-9. Male RTM’s are 11-14 inches. So why are Butti’s any different?😂 Unless you’re complimenting me by saying my female is one of the largest individuals in her species (which she’s not, she’s an average sized female for her species). Fact of the matter is that Buttikoferi males can get up to 18 inches but most are around 14-16. They overlap in size with Jags.
That is a little Red Devil , I got a 10 inch Devil that would smash any size trimac with the quix . That is a 5 inch Devil in there not a huge problem until they get 8 or 9 inches then the Devil comes out
@@seanburdelik5216 I appreciate the comment that labiatus was a beast and 9 inches they were the same age the trimac just grew faster. Trimacs and Red devils are in the same family and are pretty equally matched beside trials getting a little larger. It completely depends on the individual fish.
If the butta was a little bit bigger he would’ve smashed that Trimac look at the size difference buttas go hard guarantee same fish butta will be the same size in no time and it’s over for the trimac

Trimacs are no joke. I think they’re easily top 5 most aggressive cichlids.
Do not forget one thing guys it depends what character your fish have. Any of thouse cichlids could be dominating each other. In this case the Trimac is the bigger body sized fish.
That Trimac a beast!
Nowhere for them to hide in there, or none of their own space to chill and rest. IDK man.....................
All 3 of them lived in harmony for months until I added the Trimac
Makes sense why flowerhorn are so aggressive
Definitely!
My Bull Jaguar killed my Butti some time ago. That Butti of yours is awesome!
Did you see the other video he got the best of my jag
Nc clip, how is it now
give that butterkoferi few more inches would be different there relentless in attacks nice fish you got there
Thanks ! And trust me that Butti was a beast went toe to toe with a lot of my Apex cichlids but my Trimac is on a Different level.

It was temporary housing. The Trimac was the only one why caused problems. When I removed him everyone calmed down.

Given time the buffer will kill everything in there
He was unfortunately killed by that Labiatus when I removed the Trimac.
Please separate the fish before any fish gets killed.@@michigancichlidfinatic2581
would 2 males get along?
No unfortunately Trimacs Rarely can be housed with tank mates male or female.

Go cry yourself a river. The Trimac destroyed a 12 inch Dovii when he was 10” didn’t need your excuses
Pound for Pound in this tank if they’re all the same size Trimac is the best fighter.
True. The But the Labiatus is it’s equal it depends on the individual fish.
Then again the Buttikoferi is just as capable although they preform better with more space
To much drama separate them
They were separated immediately after I put the camera down.
The fish is way bigger then the others
Less than an inch difference I wouldn’t say way bigger and he bested fish that were actually significantly bigger than him
