So i have a new 55 gallon tank and havent decided what to do with it stocking wise. I like the big mean cichlids. I would like to have a few biggies. I dont plan on keeping them in there for life, and they take a long time to grow so i want to do a few biggies. Looking for suggestions...
Stocking a 55
- Thread starter ofish14
- Start date
Is there any way to tell the difference between male and female green terrors? and do you know the growth rate for them? thanks...
they will need a transport guaranteed though .in a 55, you can probably get away with a couple of jaguars if you plan to move them as they grow. but if you put the jags with other cichlids in the 55, they will probably kill their tankmates before you move them
i'd go w/ a Festae (red terror). I've kept many tank busters but festae's by far are still my favorite today. besides their personality nothing beats a full grown pair of festae's in breeding color. you'll have to upgrade to a 100 gallon or bigger in the future as the males can get pretty big. my pair are doing fine in my 100 gallon as of right now.
potentially, yes. it always depends on the individual fish of course. you could end up with a tame jag.ofish14;2600507; said:
