Dithers for young Green Terror pair?

[glenbo]

2 of my GT's have paired off so will be rehoming the other 2 GT's....they are about 3.5" at the moment and sharing the tank with a 4" green Texas,1" Convict, a clown loach,bristlenose and 4 juvi yellow labs (left over from my Mbuna tank).

I was plannign on rehoming the other cichlids later on...

Can i get away with dithers with the pair of GT's? liek Silver Dollars?

The tank is 4ftx2ftx1.5ft (100g)

Yes and silver dollars are the best for it.

So will the pair leave them alone?

So will the pair leave them alone?

No, but they will be alright.

Besides the GT's will only fend them off if they go near the nest

 

[glenbo]

Probably a stupid question but would the pair kill the plec,loach,texas,labs and convict? i'm in that boat where i wanted it to be temporary but starting to get attached.....lol

I didnt go out to buy them...they are just left overs from other tanks and the Texas and Con were freebies.

my convicts paired up and killed my placo, glass fish and albino red fin shark. so now there fry is my main tanks food supply , I'm not sure how aggresive the GT will become but the convicts turned pretty nasty

Often times when green terror's pair up they are known to beat up and even kill all tankmates. The best dither would be a convict or two as they will put up a fight, but they can always swim away fast. The pleco will eat the gt's eggs and the rest of the fish will get injured. I would take all of the fish out but the gt's and get a convict or two.
