Think they would do ok together in a 60g ? They would be the only fish, they’re both 5”. The Texas is in the 60g alone right now and the belly crawler is in my 75 at the moment.
Belly crawler pike cichlid with Texas cichlid?
- Thread starter Joshuakahan
- Start date
They probably will fight being the only 2 Cichlids and for territory a 60 gallon is not enough space.
So do you think I should add more to the 60 to spread the aggression or just let the Texas have the 60 to himself?
Ok, guess the original plan was the right plan, lol thank you for the advice.
I have kept both (never together), and think they could (maybe) be combined if you had a 6 ft tank of 125 gallons or more.
I kept belly crawlers with Acarichtys, other Geophagines and Mesoheros gephyum in 150 gal. (although they allare much milder in disposition than Herichthys) without any overt aggression. The belly crawler below left of the shotbelow is about 8".
.
Herichthys on the other hand, are generally loners, and can easily reach 12" .
The carpintus below is about 10+" and wasn't done growing at the time the photo. I consider a 60 too small for even 1 adult Herichthyine
