just got a small flowerhorn cichlid. how truly aggressive is this fish did i just make a 20 dollar mistake with my tanganyika and victorian cichlids.
 
Well, the flowerhorn grows pretty big (something like 8") so any of your smaller cichlids may be at risk. As far as personality, I imagine it depends on the fish. They are supposed to be semi-aggressive but I interpret that as, they can go either way. Since you already have him, give it a shot but be prepared to set up another 50g or have an alternate plan should things go awry. They are impressive fish.
