Texas Cichlid in Singapore?

lol this is the FIRST fish I ever had.

LFS sold him to me as a 1.5 inch fish. I put him and another texas with 3
firemouths in the huge new 20 gallon I got for christmas... this did not
last long when I found out how aggressive and large all of those were going
to get.

He killed everything.
He eventually got so big I found a 90 gallon with full oak canopy and stand
for $200
He killed everything I tried keeping with him in there. A lobster, and my
foot long pleco to name the 2 most surprising ones. The only things to ever
live for any length of time was a rhamdilochromis macrothalmus (spelling may
be off but common name is orange sided pike) and a lace syndontis cat fish
(who is still alove today)

That texas cichlid (Slick was his name) knew me when I entered to room and
could tell where I was from 10-15 feet away. He was huge and I kept him for
5 years. He made me need to learn more about fish to keep him and that is
why I am the fishphile I am today. I still miss him sometimes and there is a
big part of my interaction with him that I do not get out of my current
setup in that tank with all africans. Africans are incredible looking but I
just got a better sense of inteligence out of my texas...

It also helped he was huge so everyone who saw him immediately started
asking questions. I know for a fact after 3 different peopel saw him and my
tank and talked with me they went out and got their own tanks.
