I have a 60g (US) tank with a 3inch female GT and 6 corydoras and 7 tiger barbs. I love seeing cichlids interact, would I be able to add another cichlid? Maybe a convict or something?
And potentially lodged into the fishes throat! Lost a 5" oscar from a cory cat lodged in his mouth in my earlier fish keeping days!1 Convict should be fine with the GT but I wouldn't trust one with Cories. Your corries will get picked off 1 by 1.
Hopefully it stays calm for you, any GT or JD i had previously went super saiyan on reaching 5 inches lol; mass destructionI put the cories in another tank and added a convict about 2 weeks ago. There was some aggression at first from the GT, so I rearranged the tank and now all is fine. There is zero aggression between the two cichlids, in fact the convict often follows closely behind the GT, and comes up to the top for a feed when he sees the GT do the same. The GT is just over 4in, and the convict is just over 1in.
Yeah, hopefully all will be well. If they coexist alright, then they should fill out the tank nicely when they get bigger.Hopefully it stays calm for you, any GT or JD i had previously went super saiyan on reaching 5 inches lol; mass destruction
