Copper Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'm looking at setting up a 200L tank, 100cm x 40cm x 50cm with some standard community fare (tetras, loachs, plecos, dwarf cichlids), and was wondering how a T-bar cichlid/s would fit? Would a pair work or should I go for two of the same gender? Also, would a pair of dwarf cichlids in the same tank end up being a problem? Or is the whole thing just a bad idea? Any general comments about the species are welcome too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'd suggest two males as breeding pairs can get quite aggressive. Males can get to about 6" though so you might have to watch out for some of the smaller fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee2 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 mine is getting quite well to hold itself with all my other larger and more aggresive ones. but would be quite bully toward to smaller ones. they do not eat other fish anyway, so I think they are ok in a peaceful community. :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
