Possible tank for 2 green terrors?

[TStone23]

So I went to my LFS today and saw a 72g bowfront aquarium, I was just wondering if I could possibly fit 2 Green Terrors in their or if I should go for an 80g, I wouldn't mind 1 Green terror but having 2 would just be the ultimate for me. Please give me some advice/tips?

I'd think you could fit two in there just fine.

Awesome, the GT's at my LFS are still quite small, and hard to identify whether they are male or female.. I tried checking out the anal fins since I've heard that the colors of these fins are different between the sexes how ever my eies are shot haha. anyone have other ways of sexing juvenile GT's?

You will be able to house an adult pair in the tank especially if they pair up naturally, but don't expect to be able to house anything else with them long term. As for getting a pair your best bet would to buy an entire batch if they are small and let them work it out, get like 6-8 and you should be able to get at least one pair and then sell the rest.

Thanks Vapor. I don't really want anything else in with them, I've had Jack Dempseys before and I like those but I wanted to try something different and once I saw the Green Terrors, my jaw dropped. It's one of those fish I just have tp get

As long as it is 18 inches wide, your fine.
