In a newly set up 75gal, I was thinking to add one or two tailspot bush fish (Ctenopoma kingsleyae) in with at 3" GT.

From what I have read they get to around 7-9 inches and are quite rugged.

What do you all think??

Are you even going to able to find those guys?
 
I think the GT might be to aggressive for the kingsleyae...
 
Here is a pic of one:

The ones I am thinking of getting are already around 5" total length. They have them in with a bunch of large parrots in the LFS.

personally I wouldnt because a lot of people confuse predatory behavior with aggressiveness. Cichlids are mainly aggressive but Bush Fish and such are more predatory meaning only aggressive when hunting or have a reason to be, cichlids are aggressive just because a fish is in its territory... and with my experiences GTs can be pretty nasty at times...
