A terror aquarium

[greent29]

Hi
im planning to have an aQuarium of 150gal with green terrors, I already have one of 20cm, how many terrors can i put in. Im also concern of the agression between them, a friend of mien told me that it is recomended to have only one per acuarium, that cant stand with each other, and mostly between males.

I 150 is 6ft. long right? You could probably have 2 pairs, and they would most likely stay on seperate sides of the tank, w/ only occasional fights. You could even put a divider in the middle of the aquarium if you had to

Are you planning to have pairs/successful breeders? Or just a bunch of good looking fish?

I've got a breeding pair (4 spawns to date) in a 180 gal (6ft) w/ venustus, polleni, and a breeding pair of pseudotropheus crabos. The greens do not dominate the tank- even when they are protecting their spawn, they haven't shown much aggression. They chase the rest away, but do not pursue.

if you can get the bigger ones, 4-6. But if you start with small ones, about 12 and hopefully some pair off...

2 males should be fine

During breeding, females usually have darker bodies. The size of the nuchal hump (aka- bump on head) grows bigger as a male matures. This is a brief description though, just my two cents. Godd Luck. As for as I know, thre are two types of terrors- the regular version and a type with white edges along the fins.
