I have 2 green terrors in a 29 gallon QT/growout tank. They are both about 4 inches but still fairly thin compared to one I have in the main tank.
The main tank is 240 gallons and currently has a 7 inch GT and a 14 inch RTGG. There are also several bichirs.
One of the little GTs is becoming dominant and the submisive one is hiding most of the time, but does come out for food....so I would like to add them to the main tank sooner than later because 29 gallons is starting to look pretty small for them.
I think the little GTs have both outgrown being eaten by my bichirs so I am mostly concerned with the GT or RTGG taking them out. The RTGG is pretty focused on the 7 inch GT and harrasses her every chance he gets. Thats the main reason I wanted to add something else to divert his attention.
I have some driftwood, but not really much in the way of hiding spots, but the tank is big enough they should be able to get away...if they are fast enough.
I am assuming adding both of them at the same time would be best so the aggression would be split between them.
And I suppose I could just throw them to the lions and cross my fingers, but I would rather get some opinions first.
Should I add them both now or beef them up for another month or two? Or should I just add 1 now and the other in a few months after getting beefed up a little more?
