2 green terror males , one tank

[fitznacio]

what would be the least size tank that you can keep two adult male green terrors, I understand that they are extremely territorial and would like an incite from someone who has actually kept them and what was the outcome?

I would say a 6' tank with some dither fish or something to distract them from each other,might work

so would a 125L gallon tank be fine?

I agree. You want them to establish territories very far apart, and you want some distractions too.

well i am planning on using 3 silver dollars, 2 pictus cats, and maybe 3 clown loaches, should be a colorful tank. any suggestions for other dither fish other than convicts?

I have 3 males in a 125 and they are fine. One 10" and 2 5"

personally, I'd add say 2-3 more silver dollars, leave out the pictus cats and add 3 more clown loaches.

should I worry that the green terrors would eventuall get large enough to attempt to eat the pictus? I was thinking that I green terror I got are currently too small (1 1/2 to 3 inches) so i would have approx 12 months to 1 1/2 yrs to move the pictus to my back-up 55 gallon tank if need be. what do you guys think of instead of going with 5 clown loaches just getting 3 clown loaches and 1 pink tail challeous (i think thats how its spelled)?
