should be alright for a while I have silver dollars in with my festae. To many fish at adult size won't be enough room
Green/red terrors with silver dollars?

If you want festae then I'd devote the tank to them.
as for green terrors, these aren't nearly as aggressive usually. I would go with maybe one Green terror and a severum or something else fairly passive but that has lots of color.
I agree with this post. If you go GT then you might be able to actually get along with a couple. Or how about a nice JD and a GT? Both nice fish.
Silver dollars get along great with both GT and JD incidentally.
Well now I'm leaning toward getting a few EBJDs, and maybe a GT. Maybe even a regular JD too...
Got rid of the Lima shovelnose last weekend (got new tiny L-14 and L-114 plecos that would have ended up on the menu).

You just need to make a decision on whether you want a variety of fish or just a few. Festae generally get large and mean. You might end up with just silver dollars and Festae. If you get Gt's you have other options you can add to the tank. Careful with the EBJD's. they're very sensitive when young.
Yeah I've been researching EBJDs lately, and want to get a few (probably 3) small ones and see if I'm able to keep 'em healthy. Have no intentions of breeding them. For varieties' sake I'm also thinking of getting a green terror, and/or maybe a regular JD (probably just a GT though).
I figure once I find/get the EBJDs, I'll wait a month or two (depending on their size and temperament) before trying to add a GT. I'd get the GT now, but don't want it getting used to the whole tank by itself (well, with no other cichlids I mean).
I've already decided against festaes just in case that wasn't clear in my recent post.
