Green Terror 10 inches?

[fishbum]

im sure snails will be eaten.

No they won't. Snails would be fine.

A green terror should not be fed other fish. They are a very small part of their diet in the wild, and there is no reason to give them live fish. It may cause more harm than good in the long run. Feed a good cichlid pellet, and give it frozen food as treats occasionally.

There is also no reason for dither fish. A GT is active enough and will not want the company of smaller fish if not kept in a much larger tank than a 55 or 75. Just keep your GT by itself. If you want some snails those would be fine. Just make sure you feed them and that they have enough calcium.

All of this has been covered, several times in this thread. Why don't you go back and read your thread and you will have all the answers you need...

im sure snails will be eaten. i also think any long, slim fish will be eaten quickly. if you keep up with water changes you shouldnt have any eal algae problems. i scrub the little algae that grows on my 75 once every couple of months or so haha.

Ok I will try 2 ottos and see how it works I hope they don't get eaten, I have some time to think about what I'm getting so far: GT, neon tetras as a dither (maybe), roseline Sharks (maybe anything less expensive that looks about the same or is like the roselines) 2 ottos if they don't make it then I won't try it again, and a snail (if my GT eats the snail will he get sick?).


And I might be feeding my GT bred guppies (any good feeder fish I can breed so that my GT will not have a huge chance of getting sick?) comment goldfish? Guppies? Something easy to breed with almost no chance of desease?

Still looking for some schooling fish options might not do the Sharks, not really interested in silver dollars (everyone always brings them up :/)

Lol at this thread... tank size is always a hot debate it seems. I'd say what will work and what is better are rarely the same. If you are going with a 4' tank avoid fast moving fish. Maybe some rainbow fish? They get a tad big to be a snack. Get the idea of feeders out of your head too. It's impractical and not a great addition to a gts diet. Again on the subject of tank size I'd go as big as the budget allows. It provides many benefits having a larger tank. Look at it this way, zoos used to keep tigers, bears etc in small cages and they didn't die... does that mean a small cage is a good home for these animals?

I give up on this thread.
The op has been advised about dithers several times and still wants to add neons!!!
I have no intention of being rude to anyone on this forum and our opinions can differ.
Forum member fishbum has shown me ignorance is bliss in several of his posts, however I must thank him as no one has called me a kid for at least 20 years.
I also think it's nice that he worries about his Gt's calcium levels hahahahahahahahaha

Ik I am getting a 75 gallon pretty big for me how many rainbow fish? Any tank mates the GT will like to hangout with and they can keep him company?

Holy hell this thread....hahaha.

If money is no object then get the bigger tank. C'mon, this is a no brainer. While a 55 isn't too small to house a GT for life, it's not exactly ideal, either.

You've been given some good advice in this discussion, you might want to backtrack and re-read some of it.
