Anyone have experience in keeping Red Terrors? I stumbled across them at a local pet store and came home to see the profile. Are they really that bad?
Thanks in advance

I used to have one in a 75 with a Managuanse. They were both about 4" at the time. The Red Terror (Festae) DOMINATED that tank. Any time the Jag came out it was IMMEDIATELY chased back into hiding until I decided I wanted the Jag to stay in that tank and I returned the Terror to my lfs. It was a gorgeous fish but HIGHLY aggressive, more so than my Dovii that is in another tank of mine. Also, keep in mind that Red Terrors reach about 14" in length and if they breed will kill ANYTHING in the tank. However, if you have a large tank (over 90 gallons) and don't mind having only 1 fish than they would make a great pet. Hope this helps!
