Stocking ideas - 125g with Green Terror

[Murrayjane]

Thinking of getting a 125g going again. Want to include a male Green Terror, but also would like to accompany him with dither and/or other tank mates.

Any good recommendations?

Its a tricky one because Green Terrors are so unpredictable. I'd go for something tough like Plecs, you might be ok with Hoplos, some Synodontis would work but you'd need to have pretty neutral water to accommodate a GT and Synos. Reasonable sized barbs might work but not too big (thinking Oddessa or Black Ruby).

As far as other Cichlids go, hard to recommend anything as they are so unpredictable.

Thanks Wills, you helped me with my tank stock many years ago and it worked out well. Will definitely look into your recommendations and will be cautious with adding any other aggressive cichlids.

I was thinking about this yesterday - its a bit similar to what I want to do (in the future) I keep day dreaming about a Nicaraguan Cichlid tank with Turquoise or Bosemani Rainbows, Golden Panchax and interesting Synos like Pyjamas and Cuckoos.
