Large peaceful cichlids

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ok. Would a male or female green terror be better. Also, what type of bichir do you recommend with these fish in a 125 gallon. I would like 2 bichir
I don’t want bichir that get massive. I know they can get pretty big but i do not want them over 18 inches.
What do you recommend?

Unless you plan on spending money for a 5-6" GT, it's going to be difficult to sex the GT reliably.

2 is a bad number for bichir. Get 1 or 3+. Just don't get any lower jaw bichirs, upper jaw like weeksii, ornate, teugelsi for the 18" wide 125.
 
I’m getting the 125 long. I’m on a budget so nothing over 30 would be best but I can make a few exceptions.
Are Senegal and delhezi upper or lower jaw?
 
upper jaw. I would just get the senegal. It's the more active one. Having 2 bichir always leaves one beat up.
 
Ok. I will probably get 1 delhezi and 2 Senegal. Is there any specific way I can decorate the tank so the gt and fms don’t push the bichir or other fish around?
 
You could put tunnels, but I hate cleaning out tunnels. It also means I don't get to see the fish during the day when that's where they are at.
 
Ok. I there anything else I could do? Also, how big would the tunnels have to be and what would they be made of?
 
Ok. I know the green terror would be taller so that’s why I asked. What should I feed them and when?
Also how many giant danios should I get?

Does anyone have a picture of a green terror tank?
Should the tank be heavily decorated or should it have less decorations? Since the female firemouth cichlids are smaller do you think the green terror would bully them?
