should i get a green terror

[milkshake man]

i have a 5in oscar in a 25 gallon tank until i buy the stand for my 65 gallon tank i want to buy a green terror or something of that nature should i get it now or wait until i set up the 65

definitely would wait man and probably try to get the oscar out of the 25 as soon as possible. Those two guys together in a 65 will be pushing it within the year. I had problems with mine in a 75....haha one or the other would probably be the best...

Yeah, one or the other in the 65, but definitely not both.

Not to mention the oscar will grow a hell of a lot faster than the gt...

What is the footprint of the 65g.

why would you consider buying a fish that needs 55 gallons to be with a fish that needs another 55 gallons in a 25 gallon tank, and put the 65 on cinder-blocks or something so the oscar isnt in that tank thats way too small

You know skools, i'm starting to wonder if you know what growing out is. In most posts in the cichlid section i've seen from you, a lot seem to put the message accross that you need huge tank for a fish that is 2".

Save up for a 90 gallon atleast! Rememeber friend-take my adivce-buy the tank then the fish!

 

[Eric A]

buy the tank then the fish!

The only way

I would just stick with Oscar, and make it a cool wet pet in the 65 by itself.
