This is my 18 month old red terror. i think she is female, she does not like company of even other south american cichlids like JDs Blood parrots Synspilum etc... What would be a good fish to try with her. She lives in a 250L with an eheim classic 600 pump eheim heater at 26 ° and a 3000lh wavemaker. She gets weekly water changes and fortnightly filter changes.
Red Terrors (RT) generally will be aggressive towards other fish. It’s possible that it wants the tank to itself. 260L (66g) is not a big tank to house a RT, JD and a BP. If you want to see peace in the tank either rehome the fish(es) or buy a tank that is at least 473L (125g). The 473L/125G is six feet...this allows more room and more territory for the fish.
That’s not a real red terror, that’s a Mayan or fake red terror. True Red Terrors have 9 stripes, Mayans 7. Also, the black stripe right behind her eye would be touching the one behind it, creating a “Y”. Anyway, try something more aggressive like a Red Devil, Green Terror, Jaguar (itll outgrow your tank though).
