terror with rd

[large_cichlids]

hey would a red terror go in a 75 gallon with a rd.they seem like excelent fish.I love large red cichlids.can someone tell me about these fish.

i am thinking about trading my large buttikoferi in for a redterror

yes it will work get them both at the same size and they will fight but they seam to have equal aggresion levels and strength .my rt is a warrior he is the smallest in my 125 cichlid community tank he picks fights he cant win constantly hits and runs on his tank mates.the rt is 1 of my favorites he stays beat up and ugly i think he likes it that way and i like to watch him live like this the battle never stops but i have not had a fatality in14 months he takes the fight to the max and retrets.IMO i wuold keep the butti in a year the rd and rt will be about the size of butti now then get a 125 and put them all together lol

no, it won't work. Your gonna end up with two aggressive fish in a tank that is too small for both of them.

 

[large_cichlids]

are u saying a 75 is to small for a rd

 

[skinless]

i believe a 75g is more or less the minimum tank size for a solo rd.

what are u talkin about(more or less) u basically said its the minimum but then again it wasent

 

[bigsmooth]

your 75 will be fine with just the red devil.

what are u talkin about(more or less) u basically said its the minimum but then again it wasent

if you 'search feature' the site for similar threads to your particular question you would see that many recommend a 75g as a minimum for a midas/rd. it has been asked once or twice before lol. so more or less (approximately) a 75g.

and that would be for 1 fish only (more or less)

so the rd and redterror wont go together in a 75.
