Okay... quick question... and you can go by your gut feeling.

Got hold of 2 male GT (both 8+ inch).... which is rare because in my part of the world one rarely sees a GT around that size!
Now the question is, out of the two tanks that I have where do you think these guys should go?

Tank 1: (6 x 1.5 x 1.5) residents: 2 RD (6"), 1 Jag (8"), 1 texas (7"), 1 albino oscar (8")

Tank 2: (6 x 1.5 X 2) residents: 1 texas (8"), 1 GT (4"), 2 salvini (3").... and couple of loaches and plecos.

Where do you think the aggression will be still manageable?

Thanks.
 
i would put him in tank 2, its simple bigger tank, fish are smaller, less aggressive tank; but DO NOT take my word for it, its just what i wouild do, but WAIT for other people to post
 
Thanks guys..... even I thought tank 2 would be better. But removed the 8" male texas and the male salvini from tank 2 (they were bullying the new comers!) and transfered them to tank 1.
Now doing WC on tank 1. Will redecorate the decor and will see which tank 1 resident I can transfer to tank 2! (Tough choice that would be!)
Pics coming soon!
 
Here are some crappy pics from my webcam. Decision to put them in tank 2 has paid off well.... both the GTs are doing fine.... eating like pigs! One of the GTs is a bit drab and dark. Don't know if it's a female or just the stress from the other dominant one?
