I know. I was bad. I went to the store today and came home with a beautiful baby male green terror. I couldn't resist at $8.99. So now I have to figure out where to put it. I have it in a 10 gallon quarantine right now. It's about 2 inches long. Would it go ok in my 90 gallon with a baby retic stingray and 6, 2-3 inch, angelfish? If not how about my 125 gallon with 2 5 inch green severums, an 8 inch BP, and 3, 4 inch, BPs. I also have a 20 gallon with some 2 inch red zebras and some 2 inch bluegill. Can it go in any of those 3 tanks? There is also my empty 25 gallon tank that I built, but I need to check it for leaks. This summer he's going in a 50 gallon above ground mini-pond that is moveable. It sits on the patio and stays about 76-82 degrees for summer. If I can get all the snow out of it and it isn't frozen to the ground I will set it up inside and put him in there.
A not so smart purchase

stick him in the 25 for now as a growout. if he reaches a size close to that of the sevs, put him in the 125.
will do. I'll try to get pics, but as soon as you walk up he hides. He loves to eat the water sprite though (I had some pregnant platies in there earlier but I put them back in the main tank).
I'd put him in the 125 and let him grow out. He'll grow faster and color up[ better in a big tank. They grow super fast (mine did anyway). They';re bold enough to hold their own in a tank with bigger fish.
I bought him at Kee's Aquarium and Pets. Will he kill the severums and the BPs when he grows larger? Those 6 fish are my mom's favorites. If any of them were even nipped at she would kill the GT in an instant. I really thought that it would act like a blue acara, not a monster. I also don't want him to be hurt by the severums.
