charlieogilvie Hobbyist Posts: 131 Kudos: 32 Votes: 2 Registered: 14-Sep-2002	i have two pairs of texas cichlids, males about 4 inches. they are doing each other a lot of damage in the 48''x18''x12'' that i am keeping them in. do you think the less dominant pair will be ok in a 24''x15''x12'', its well filtered and empty except a small plec 4'' and the redundant small female texas that i bought to be sure of getting 2 pairs (although she can move to my large comunity tank if needs be).
