I'm planning the stock for my new 350G and i'm thinking of building around a pair of Red Terrors (Festae).
I realise that:
A. Red Terrors are agressive at the best of times and
B. During Spawning they get even more agressive and would be a threat to any and all tank mates.
But as juvies and until they reach about 7" they would be fine to be seperated from the rest of the fish during spawning (I think?) and after they grow larger then 7"+ they'd end up (unless I can find another option) with the tank to themselves.
Rehoming tank mates in the future wont be a problem and i'll be adding all the tank mates first then the terrors last and all as juvies (probably tank mates an inch or so larger though) with plenty of hides etc.
My real questions are:
Has anyone successfully kept Red Terrors with other Cichlids?
What would be worth trying with them?
Is there anyway to determine the sex of juvies?
What are the best ways to establish pairs? Is the technique used for Oscars (buy a bunch and cross your fingers) effective?
I realise thats alot of questions but as I understand it, here is my best chance for quality answers
