 | A little advice on green terrors? |
jaloco  Hobbyist Posts: 62 Kudos: 65 Votes: 0 Registered: 23-Mar-2005 | i was wondering if a green terror, jack demspey and a convict could live together peacefully in a 6x2x2 tank. if i raise them together from a young age like an inch or so? and maybe a pleco or some other catfish for the bottom. thanx  |

I once had a convict male that was a true pussycat, but don't be surprised if the Dempsey ends up vertical in a corner and the other two keep shredded fins... |

ClownyGirl Fish Addict Posts: 508 Kudos: 311 Votes: 5 Registered: 07-Oct-2004   | I have one in a tank with a Convict, a Texas and a Salvini. I have no idea about Jack Dempseys though. My GT is about 7 inches, and the other fish are just over 4. He was the last addition to the tank and is doing quite well. |

freejoe Enthusiast Posts: 211 Kudos: 227 Votes: 756 Registered: 20-Aug-2003   | I have a Jack Dempsey, Jagaur juvie 4 inches, 2 male convicts, 2 plecos, 3 silverdollars they have all been together for over a year and all but the jag for over two years. I would say you will be ok with what you want  good luck Joe The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an bacon and egg breakfast: the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'." |
