I was planning on getting a Grammados for my 90g but I saw a pair of Tbar cichlids and bought them instead..the male is about 5inches and looks awesome and the female is about 3inches...I was just wondering..if it would be possible to have two more males about the same size and a Green Terror at around 7inches within the 90g tank..there are some plants in there along with some caves..**will post pictures of the pair when they get settled in..**
Tbar Cichlid HELP!

I wouldn't add any extra males to the mix. They'll all fight over the female and the female may be killed in the process.
You could probably add the gt.
You could probably add the gt.
i would say yes,a 90 gallon is big for the tbars which are nearly full grown.
but might not so is the GT male or female?
-how big are the other males?,if smaller it would be good because they would be sub dominate males and proberly wouldnt mate as its the dominate male would win her over.
decorate the tank with rocks, bogwood, pots and hide outs for the other males and female if the male has been drinking stella artois
, also how aggressive is your GT? i would remove all the decoration at a w/c and place the decorations in different places so the gt and sajicas are unsettled with no territory then add the other male's. i would add acouple of fast dithers/target fish like gaint danios etc.
also another common name for the tbar is sajicas, you will find more results using sajica. also enjoy them there amazing fish, i have a tiro and alot of fry anf iam getting the sajica gold side form soon

the Gt is probably about 6-7inches..dont have him right now..was just planning on gettin him but I'm having second thoughts...also..the others males are about the same size..maybe only slightly smaller but more colorfull BUT their hump isnt as big..the LFS also have another female..but about 2inches only..IF i decide to get the rest of the tbars..which would be..The Pair I Have Now Along With 2Males @ 4-5inch and 1Female @ 2inch..and get some dither fish..along with caves and plants..would it still work?..as for the name Sajica..it was just too hard to remeber how to spell it..hehe..=P
sorry to get off topic, but i would love to see these. snap some pics and hook us up with the pics 
yeah you could have 3 males and 2females i the 90 but i would miss the GT tho just because it might go beating the sub dominate males because they wont be paired up...
I have a sajica pair of the same size as yours and i think u should skip the extra males and just keep the pair.If u get a gt get a smaller one thats not much bigger than the t-bar pair gt's grow real slow and that will give them time to get used to one another befor the gt starts getting big and mean. A sajica pair can be pretty feirce at spawning and together they should be able to hold off a medium size gt i had my pair in a 75 with some rd growouts the same size as the t-bars and it worked for a few months.
