Green Terror

[cichlid-mad]

Hi Im Just Wondering As Ive Allways Liked A Green Terror,

How Big Do They Get,

What Size Do They Get,

And Also What Size Tank For A Pair?

8"(females are slightly smaller), ive seen some bigger males though.
50G is ok for one male or one female. "Could" have a pair in there if nothing else was in there. Make sure there were many hiding places and territories.
If you were going to have other fish with them Id say a 100G. These guys pack a real punch.

no i was thinking of haveing just a breeding pair, so a 50g be fine for a pair?

I would suggest atleast 100g as with most breeding pairs the male can be rough with the female

no i was thinking of haveing just a breeding pair, so a 50g be fine for a pair?

oh ok then so i wont get a breeding pair, can 1 baby green terror go in a 28g, just for a few months?

In with puffers and otos?

Seriously mate, unless you want yet another big tank, I'd stick with the fish you have for now. Those oscars and plecs are going to need a lot of work, and the GT cant go in with them as that tank is already full. Then you have your four foot tank, and the 28g one. It's a big progression for someone new to fish.

But if you have the time and room for another big tank then who am I to argue. But please remember that your other tanks are full now. So any fish you buy will need to be permanently housed comfortably in one of the tanks you have, or have a new tank set up for it. The GT would need the latter.

i aint got puffers and ottos, im thinking of getting them, but ill wait for now, so he will be about 2 - 3" when i get him, would he be ok in a 2ft just for a while by himself ?

dude you cant have every fish you want when ever you want it.


wait till you can house more fish properly and in the right size tanks and then see about getting them.


that way you dont have to return fish to the shops and risk stunting fish you have.
