Festae or red terrors

[batang_mcdo]

Hi,

I'm planning to get some red terror fries, how many should i get to have a big chance of getting a pair? their tank will initially be a 75 gal tank. i'l put lots of pots for hiding places.

thanks.

I'd go with at least 5-6. that should give you pretty good odds on getting a pair.

Get queit a few, its better to go in early, i hate trying to pair, its a pain in the azzreck!

yeah man get quite a few nd once u notice paring behaviour sell the rest!

if they going into the 75 from jump then about 10 should be good. gives a good balance

I just bought 6 from Rapps 3 1/2 - 4" and got them in on Thursday. They are in a 75 with a bunch of pots and some rock. They are doing very well. I also bought 6 Trimacs and they came in really nice as well.

You're not thinking of keeping the trimacs with the red terrors are you? If so, it will not last long.

Of course not...

thanks!!
would it be better to get from different breeders? or would it be ok to breed siblings? these are f1 fish. really excited to get some
the tank would house red terrors only. or might house 2 adult severums with the small red terrors since severums are peaceful cichlids.
