Im getting my 130 gallon tank on sunday. I will be putting in my 8-9 inch male Gt. Hes been with alot of smaller fish with no problems. I want to get a few Araguaia Orange Head's, will that be compatible? The tank dimensions will be 48x24x26 high with a FX5 filter.
Araguaia Orange Head and Green Terror compatible?

Would not recommend this at all.
Orange Heads are known to be quite timid and show poor colour when housed with bigger, more dominant fish. I wouldn't keep a Gold Saum in a 4 foot tank to begin with anyway.

G'day,
I agree with Japes regarding the Orange Heads, I wouldn't try this.
Your 4x2 would do for the GT as a wet pet, at his size you'd need to think carefully about adding tankmates.
good luck
cheers

I personally would not keep a Male Saum in a 4x2 footprint for life, no. Volume is fine, length is small. Has the potential to almost grow to a quarter of the length of the tank.
wow thats weird i have 2 juvies in my 75 ( only keeping one ) and they do just fine.... yes males COULD and SHOULD grow to a foot long but i havnt seen any past 10 inches ( well a few may have been a foot long ) so IMO GTs are fine in a 4 foot tank...... ( i have a 4 foot by 18 by 21 )
