Green Terrors

[davidblackson]

Hello my name is david i have a 100 ltr tank. the occupants are 2 one and a half inch green terrors brought together at the local fish shop. they seem to get along fine at the present time although the dominate brighter one gets a little agro during feeding.

How long will this peace last

what size tank would be appropriate when there relationship fails

any other advise would be greatly appriciated

i am simply captivated by there colours and intellegence please help me to care for them thank you greatly

Having personally kept and bred these fish i kept my breed pair in a 3ft tank on there own. giving my male was 10.5 inches "check avatar". if you've got both males i can see aggression developing later on in life, two females are usually more calming. Male and female pair woud be great.

I agree with you on there intellegence and beauty,
Terrors are too often dismissed because f there common name.

imo and the biggest reason that I got rid of my female is because they are too common, everybody has gold saums,

 

[Zawiha]

ive seen an equal share of males and females in my time.
Females have just as much character

 

[juanveldez]

character isn't the reason I got rid of mine, the reason I got rid of her was because I had some other plans prior to me getting her and they were able to come through for me so I got rid of her to make room for some other fish. but in general they are a commonly avalible fish that everybody gets admititly some people get them for the wrong reasons.
