If you look at my signature you will notice a heap of fish in my 4x1.5x1.5ft that simply won't be able to stay in there long term. First you may rest assured that the fish are all only young & under no stress from being cramped.
The terror is the largest at 3 inches or maybe its the plec at 4 inches.
Anyway, I have a new 6x2x2ft that I am going to set up for all of those fish over the next few months. The firemouths are only about 2inches & I'm waiting for the last one to be rejected so I have a breeding pair. (I have two other rejected firemouths in another tank). I'm not going to get a mate for the terror because I think it will cause problems at breeding time as they can be very aggressive.
I'm looking for suggestions of possible tankmates for these fish. I'm thinking of a breeding pair about the same size as the firemouths? I'm not sure if it would work having two different spieces breeding in the same tank though, so some advice on that would be good. If I can't have a pair I'm thinking another larger solo specimen like the green terror. All suggestions are welcome but no catfish please. There's enough of them already for my taste.
I'm also turning thier current 4ft home into my 1st planted community so tips & stocking/plant suggestions are welcome for that as well.
