I was wondering I have a pair of red terrors and a pair of red tigers could in put a divider in the tank and put a pair on each side would they be fine or would there be trouble
 
You will want a sturdy divider if the red tigers get in with your terrors they will kill them. It would be best to use 2 seperate tanks and they should be 78 gallon or bigger. A 6 foot tank is best with both these fish but sometimes a 4 foot will work.

I agree that it might work in a 6ft tank, or larger.
And with a very strong divider. Anything smaller would be like trying to keep a pair in a tiny tank.
Beside the vertical wall (for large strong species) I always zip tie some extra pieces, and also zip tie some horizontal pieces where rocks can be placed to stabilize the thing.

and if the tank has a overlapping rim, cut notches to friction fit the egg crate at the tank top

Festae are badass when they fight, I had a 10" male fighting a 10" butti for dominance on a few occasions. They fought for 10+ minutes at a time!
Have a few videos on my YouTube channel, they lived together peacefully most of the time tho so don't flame me for videoing the hierarchy change.
 
That was a long time ago, I sold the butti at 14-15" and lost the festae pair long before due to a tank crash.
