So I recently purchased a small Red Texas and he's in my 25 until he grow larger. Can anyone tell me about there experiences with this fish? He's only a little over an inch and he is with a larger Con at about 2 inches. Btw this is my grow out tank, I let younger fish grow in this tank before I put them in a larger tank with the big fish.
 
Congrats on the new adition! Here's some info you might find useful!
Red Texas cichlids are considerable more aggressive than other Texas cichlids and should be thought about as flowerhorns rather than as Texas cichlids. They should only be kept with other large robust and aggressive fish. They require a large aquarium if you are going to be able to house them with other cichlids and are otherwise best kept alone.
 
The red Texas cichlid is easy to care for and will accept most types of food. They produce large amounts of waste which means that large frequent water changes and good filtration is a most. 
Goodluck with them! Great fish!
