I was wondering what size of tank I would need to house a Texas and a red texas cichlid. And I'm not that experienced with plants. Could I get a few plants to root on some drift wood and would they survive? And how would the two cichlids interact?

Red texas is a hybrid,so unpredictable with attitude.both get large 10 + inches.75 gal for 1 fish,long term 2 fish that size would need larger tank.compatibility will vary,males or females,if they pair up.when younger they might seem to get along.then when mature they can change.it is not always the same.different fish and experience from all cichlid keepers.plants would probably get shredded or at the very least uprooted
