You should be fine with a pair of these in a 140 just keep some dithers with them.

They're looking really good! Thats quick growth too. Their eyes should be getting that deep red color soon.

Sorry my English knowledge is not on top. Dithers? Something to put aggression on other than the same species?

Planning to have a pair of C. Menezesi and some silverdollar tetras in there aswell...

Target fish would be the english for something to draw the aggression for the pair. Your Cr. menezesi would service that point. Dithers are schooling fish that draw out shy fish. They are not meant to have any aggression directed at them.
