I was looking to have a pair of these fish but am a little worrked about leaning them out. Do they gave teath and you they attack you? Can they draw blood?

Thanks

I've never been hurt. It kinda tickles.

Dont worry these fish are agressive but mostly to other fish. What size tank do you have? I have had these fish before and they are great fish good luck.

I have a breeding pair of these fish, they have massive personalities and i have never been attacked even when they have eggs/fry in the tank when i have done water changes. I wouldn't recommend keeping a male and female pair with any community fish as if they spawn you might have trouble on your hands...

I would think keeping them with other robust cichlids is the best idea!

They are not like a piranah so your not going to lose a limb or anything cleaning out the tank

lol yeah but my sajica is evil, if i put my hand in nthe tank he will bite and bite and bite he wont give up untill you remove your hand, he is the big boss of the tank so he has a nuchal hump, but my green terror got his fins shredded up so hes in there for a bit recovering so hes no longer the dominent fish in the tank
ive only ever had female convicts, sajica are related to them but males can get about 7" .

Never seen a sajica before just did some research and i quite like the look of them, are you in the uk? If so where did you get him from?

Wish i could house a green terror!
