What have you folks had with your terrors? I recently got a baby green terror about 1 inch and was wondering what might work with him, I was thinking maybe a rapheal catfish and a featherfin catfish, is this doeable? btw my tank is 90 gal.

I have a Blackbelt with mine, Jack Dempseys, also a Midas. But Midas won't work in a 90 gallon I think. I used to have convicts with my Green Terrors as well. Oh and of course plecos, mostly the common ones that get big.
Featherfin catfish are African right? Not that it really matters, because I still think it will work out.

Yeah the featherfin being african is the one thing holding me back from buying one.
Yea I see, but I think both will work, I forgot to mention that I even had corydoras with mine, and they never bothered them. My smallest pleco is an L129 and is 2 inch maybe, and is also still alive after 2 years. Of course it depens on the personality of your Green Terror, a big common pleco is always the best choice for a catfish with cichlids.
 
With my GT, I have a texas, jd and a jag. They're all pretty small right now I want them to grow up together. I find that the easiest way to keep them from killing eachother later. I also just recently got some tigerbarbs for dithers and they're pretty funny little fish.
 
I have had my GT with a convict, a Firemouth, a herotilapia Multispinosa (Rainbow cichlid) and out of all these my GT gets along with and is the friendliest with the severums so that is what I would suggest. Although all fish are different so you never know.

Also if you want suggestions for bottom fish I would go with 3 pictus cats or a school of corys.
 
I have another 2 GTs with a firemouth, clown loaches, and just added a baby featherfin 3 days ago and everything is going a ok. Heck I even saw the kuhli loaches come out of the driftwood. I thought they had been dead for about 2 years and they suddenly reveal themselves.
