Post Matching up Green Terrors Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2010 2:21 pm

I had been growing out my male Green Terror with plans to put he and my female GT in the same tank. Tried it Sunday and she decided she really doesn't like him, so now they're back to separate tanks. I'm wondering if I can try it again or if getting them to eventually pair up isn't likely.

I would move him out... put her in the tank you want them... give it a few days and put him back in at night with no light on... give that a try... I bet by morning they will be fine.

You may also try getting some egg crate ceiling tile and making a divider in the tank that way they get use to seeing each other before you take the divider out. I have also used this method to spawn large cichlids that dont get along, you wont get a 100percent egg fertilization rate but you also wont have a beat to death female.

Took a while but I finally got them to co-exist. The male recovered from a nasty gash to the head and since then they're doing pretty well together.
