Do Black belt cichlids have aggression issues?

I've kept meaner. I'd say medium. But, it all depends on the individual fish.

Mine took over a whole 180 at 5" with all bigger centrals,the only fish i could keep him with was a 13" pearsei(not sure why they got along)but every thing else i put it with it totally bullied into submision.

It is aggressive but not as much as it's relatives.

youre kidding right? tell me of other viejas that can beat up black belt of the same size
one of my male was punished by putting him in a 2.5x2 tank and instead of repenting he turned into a glassbanger

I went threw a flood a few years back and I had to give fish from 3 tanks to a LFS because I had room for just 1 tank in a garage till I could find a new home.
Anyway one of my fish was a 6" male jaguar and it got dropped in to a tank with a huge black belt. The jag kicked some serious *** on that black belt, and it was over twice the size of the jaguar.

From what i have seen Blackbelts need to be in larger groups o
f cichlids so they get distracted and cant pick one fish to harass..

I had one in my 6' tank for about 2 years and never experienced any exceptionally bad aggression, although it was near the top of the tank's hierarchy
