If I want to keep my rose queen (12 inchish) with one other tank mate (if possible sp to be determined) what do you think the min tank size I could use would be? thanks

This is a picture of my Rose Queen. She stays with 3 FH, 5 Nics, Green Severum, and a Johanna. She is the toughest thing in the tank. Right now she is about 6".

But I'm sure I will have to move some around as they get older.
 
It's a 125. She ties up with the FHs more then anything that and my largest Nic.
 
beautiful fish :D

it has been my experiance you can kepp them with most large cichlids or med aggression. RoseQueen are not that crazy. So long as the tank is good size to fit all the fish in it with enough space and there is no KILLER in the tank you should do well with most large to med sized new worlds
 
I kind of need to free up a tank and I do not want to let my queen go. Could this work: My 12 inch rose queen in a 90 with four six inch parrots? My biggest concer is that I have to 7 inch twig cats (farowells). Almost forget there are also five mixed sized clown loaches. Also I have a monster anubia in the tank, will that be safe? Thanks

raphael cat would be a good tankmate. Your rosequeen should leave it alone.
75 or 90 gallon would be a good tank for him.
 
I wanted to quote your first post charney. With the 90 you listed your going to need to weed out some fish. How is the temper of your rosequeen?
 
Honestly I am not quite sure about her temperament, but I do not think it is great. She was with other fish two years ago in a 50gallon. They got a long fine until she got too big and then I moved them all to different tanks and she has been alone since.
