Tank Mates for GT?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I had a GT with some Dats before and then with a CK and RTC. They all worked out...well...of course they were a comfortable size with one another;)
 
ive had a GT in with parachromis loisellei, gold sev, convict, uaru A., firemouths, filament barbs, a garra (a sto-away from an online order), bristlenose plec, clown loaches and an oscar.
my GT was pretty calm though, a good tank boss. he used to fight with the male BN plec alot but the plec used to start it. i tried a syno cat and the GT went medievil on it after it nipped his fin. it ended up in a mess so i never tried anymore syno cats after that but i others on here have done it without issues.
 
I have mine with a rotkeil Sev. But then again the GT is 5 in and the Sev is just breaking 2 in.

Oh yeah, also I use giant danios for dithers.
 
I kept Firemouths, Sals , Sevs, and a couple of Red hump Geos with mine. No problems but all were introduce as 1"-2" juvies over a month or so. grew them out a bit in a 55g then moved them to my 125g. it really all boils down to individual personalities in the end though.

What size tank are we talking about here?


I personally would make the GT the center piece and add fishes like Convicts, Synodontis catfishes, clown loaches, plecos,etc.

I agree with this idea! Nothing much better than a full grown GT!
 
My male doesn't have any cichlid tankmates, but there are some clown loaches and giant danios with him. Its a 75 gallon.
