I am looking for ideas for a centerpiece fish for my 75 gal tank. I like the look of the green terror but I'm afraid it will be to aggressive. I also like the look of the electric blue jack dempsy but I don't know how suitable it will be with my other tank mates. Thanks in advance
I have
6 botia loaches
1 rope fish
2 ancistrus plecos
1 jewel cichlid
 
Green Terror shouldn't bother any of them since the only other cichlid is a jewel and if its smart will leave the GT alone due to sheer size difference lol, GTs are south american and while compared to other SA cichlids is aggressive, but compared to most larger size CA cichlids they aren't too bad, how large do those plecos get? as if they are one of the large growing plecos that will be ALOT of bioload in your tank once everyone is full grown
 
I have peacock bass and I'm use to some aggression between fish. But I really don't want any of the fish in this tank to get picked on relentlessly. I read that as gt's mature that they pick on anything smaller, I have no actual experience with them so I leave it up to you guys. Also these plecos should max out at about 6". I have an ac110, ac70 and a canister filter on this tank along with diligent water changes so water quality shouldn't be an issue.

I looked this up and its a very nice fish but it said it could get up to 11". The size and the fact that its a piscovore I would be afraid it would try to make one of my smaller loaches a snack. Anyone have any other Ideas and any experience with this setup with an electric blue jd?
 
Nicaraguense?
