I have two male Green terrors. Both are about 8". The dominant male has really long flowing fins and great color. It keeps damaging its head chasing my peacock bass that almost twice its size.

The second male is shaped a little different then the first. Its hump is a little bigger, but its not as colorful as the dominant fish.

The terrors control about half of my tank. I keep moving the drift wood to shrink there territory. Really the dominant GT control half the tank, but he allow the other GT down there about most of the time.

I seriously thinking of getting rid of one of them to try and lower the aggression in the tank a little. My six year old son wants me to keep both of them, but I'm still up in the air.

So my question to you guys is which one would you keep and why? Or would you just keep both? There tank mates are a 12" mono peacock bass, two 12" oscars, a 16" common pleco, and 7" gold nugget pleco.

IMO if there is no real damage other than some chasing keep them both, What size is the tank?
 
its hard for us to tell if we can't see it in person...its up to you in the end
 
.. holy.. how big is that pleco?
 
I'd try to throw a female in the mix and see which one takes to her and get rid of the one who's left out. But you'd have to get a hefty girl to match up with those 9" GT's. Nonetheless, for me I'd personally go w/ the prettier one of the two since it seems either of them could rule the tank if the other one left...but that's just me. Good luck!
