Aggressive or territorial?? I find the cichlids to be territorial as opposed
to aggressive.. Yes, these guys have an attitude. I recently seen some at an
LFS here and those ones seemed to have the attitude of a the Flower Horn.
They flared their gills plates for me as I walked past the tank. So I would
suspect your F1 is not going to be much different. The New World cichlids I
always feel, have the nastiest attitudes and are exceptionally territorial.
