Stocking 60 gallon tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'd rather have a green terror so I i had a female gt and severum would I still be able to have the pleco and pictus
 
probably be ok, sevs get 8 inch female terrors about the same just invision if it will look cramped, if you do the water changes and keep the nitrate low you should be fine, its down to whether the gt gets aggressive, acara would be much more likely to work...
 
Thanks for all help I really appreciate it. Ive just been so stuck on stocking because all the cichlids I like get around 5-12 inches.

Also are you sure they get 8 inches. I just looked at my cichlid book(bear in mynd it is 20 yrs old) it said they get 10-12 inches?
 
sevs? google it and take an look at a few results, im sure they very rarely surpass 8 inch?

I've seen some easily 10-11 and looking like a plate I still say. Leave it at one green terror and nothing that surpasses 6 inches

Also(i don't want to create an argument) but different types of severum get different sizes. Green severum gets 12 inches when red shoulder gets 8-9 inches
