Green Terror Tankmates

[randallhart]

I'm sorry for posting threads about all these different cichlids but I need to know if I can have any and while going to various lfs's and doing research I came across a green terror and wondered if it could live in a tank this size with this many tank mates for about a year or 2. And if necessary I can rehome a couple of fish if needed.


55 Gallon Tank

1 gold killifish
2 angelfish
4 congo tetras
5 rosy barbs
2 albino corys
2 panda corys
2 bronze corys
1 whiptail catfish
1 clown pleco
1 bristlenose catfish

I have put a line through the fish that I recon the green terror will kill.

Would a female green terror have less aggression than the male? Thanks btw.

 

[ox5477]

most likely as males are usuallhy more territorial but there are no guarentees

 

[randallhart]

[randallhart]

the only time most cichlids should do this is when breeding. they believe that you are there to steal their eggs/fry. for the most part, they should come to recognize you as a good thing seeing as how when you appear, food magically appears in their tank Like nelly said too, some of them may even get so confortable that they will allow you to put your hand in the tank and stroke them

Thank you all so much.
