Green Terror

Thinking about getting a green terror, I'm just wondering if they would go well with my other cichlid in my tank. The tetras and cory's will be move anyways if I the GT is compatible with the rest...

A GT will not be able to co exist in your tank with your other fish, it will kill everything else in there. Aggressive cichlids like GT's can only be combined with other fish if kept in very large tanks where they all can establish territories, a 33g is only suitable for one cichlid species IMO.

Yeah too bad cause they are such a nice fish . Hey CFC you think the cichlids in my tank would do fine, right now theres no problem, but what do u think will happen when they reach full size. My Acara is the biggest and so far he seems very gentle on all his tankmates the same with the firemouth, however during feeding time the severum will chase the firemouth if it gets close to him but wouldn't really nip him and they could be side by side sometimes without any agression....

CFC is right a GT is not suitable for a 33 gallon tank they get too big for starters... they have been known to get well over 11 inches. they need at least a 55 gallon tank.

here is a link to a post that I started many moons ago about GTs in which alot of info about GTs was posted you might want to read it first.
