green terror

[KurseD]

would a 2in green terror be okay with 2 4in oscars? i've heard that GT are super agro , but i've been thinking of starting a cichlid tank for quite some time.

Nope. A GT will only grow 4-5" in a year max, where those oscars will hit a foot in a year or so, and will eat him before he grows big enough.

However, an adult will beat the crap out of oscars.

4-5"? mine grew about 8 inches in a year, and a 8 inch gt could take out a oscar but probably won't, gt's really arent that aggressive as opposed to many central and south american cichlids. i see them more having the same temperament as an oscar but can be more feisty and more potential to be aggressive.

What size tank would you be keeping them in and at what age would you be getting them. If they grow up together they may be fine but with cichlids it is hit or miss. I would imagin that green terrors are more aggresive then oscars.
