would a green terror, 2x red severums, electric blue jack dempsey and a salvini all get on together?
if so what is the minimum tank size for these?

EBJD prob too wussy, sevs you never know, gt might be a dick, would need a decent sized tank, I think
No way to say these fish will get along, depends on how long youve had them, how they do w tank mates, etc.

i had these fish in a 6x2x2 - bought them all at 4-5" and they all got on fine - they all had their own spot - even had a jag and a buttikofferi in there. had the combo for years. obviously there is a little bickering with all cichlids - the trick is to add the least aggressive first (sevs) and most aggro last (for me it was butti) if i ever rearranged the decor i would take out the jag and butti for a few hours then add back in. hope it helps
You never know with cichlids who they will get along. BUT I find that when you keep 5 or more they tend to spred out the aggression and it can work. You will need a 100-150Gal I think. A 150gal would be good.
might get away with it if you get them from a small size so they grow up together,but i agree with irishfan gt could be dicks, need a 125g
i would think the ebjd would get owned, i kept one with a salvini once and the salvini whooped up on it, i ended getting rid of the salvini and then the ebjd bloated and died a few weeks later, but all cichlids are different, im housing a red severum for a friend for a few months and this fish was just added and spent its first few days chasing a vieja regani that did own the tank, the red severum is also two inches bigger, but from my time with one it seems like it can hold its own
