1. You can not really generalize fish like that, each fish will have it's own personality. On average some will be more aggressive than others.

2.see answer 1.

3.yes, they breed when there 3-4inches.


For what it is worth my 125g has these fish and they co exist very well:

flowerhorn
midas
bloodparrot
convict
green terror
jack dempsy
firemouth

The most aggressive (and the largest) is the flowerhorn. The next aggressive fish is probably the firemouth, but I would hardly call them aggressive they do very well, just territorial now and then.

I do have a texas cichlid that will run the show in any of my tanks on command, he is a beast!
