265g Vid-I have a Terror Tank now

Nice tank & fish bro...hope to have some thing over 200g some day.

If you keep hanging around here I bet you will.

sounds like a headache lol..the things we do make sure our fish are happy.

Ain't that the truth.

Nice tank bro, I was thinking about doing this myself with a 375G. How did you introduce the GTs? I see that the RTs are cool with them occupying the right side of the tank. Was there any aggression up front, causing them to work it out, or was everyone cool from the beginning?

I introduced the GT's simply by netting them out of their tank and dropping them straight into this one. The Festae seem cool with them so far, no issues between Terrors but I built them a little fortress out of driftwood all the way to the right just in case.


The male GT was initially fighting with the Atromaculatus and took a beating. Now though, by the male and female GT's double-teaming the Atro, they've gained the upper hand. They're not outright trying to kill him or anything but are defending their territory.

And I still don't see how you pull off these Terror Tanks but they always look amazing. I didn't see any split fins so it seems that everything is well. That female Festae is always fire hydrant-red! I don't think I have ever seen her any other shade. I hope this current set up works for a long time.

Sorry Gruff, I almost missed your post. The GT is the only fish who's beat up but not too bad, I think this setup is going to work.

The female Festae is pretty much always that color, sometimes she brightens up more than others but for the most part she's the color of a very dark red, vine ripe tomato.

Awesome, glad to hear its working out.
