I have a 75 gallon tank with a Green Terror pair in it. I also have a large common pleco in the tank who I am rehoming soon. I moved recently and I could no longer put the tank in my bedroom, so I am now trying to turn it into a display tank, which unfortunately means I can no longer keep the pleco. The scape simply dosen't work for him. However, I want to put something else in the tank with the pair.
The male green terror is not that much of a jerk compared to most GTs but hes been acting up lately against the female. The female is fine and she is eating very well but she does have a few ripped fins. WHat I have noticed was that, when I had a convict cichlid with them, the pair got along perfectly fine and were best friends. I still have that convict and I'm thinking about moving him back into the tank.
I also would think about doing some other type of south american cichlid or fish, like a severum or a semi-large pleco (maybe 10in). Another plan is to add some type of dither fish, like rainbows or tetras. I'm going to be in that room a lot so I'll have time for lots of water changes if needed. There is going to be a saltwater tank in their soon so I have an obligation to make the tanks in this room look good.
Thank you for your help,
Nolan
