advice for a 65

[bennylax3]

I have a JD wtih some barbs and a pleoc in a 20 gal right now. the jd is only about 2". around mid marhc i will be getting a 65 gallon(hope fully) or 50 long. I had a lfs order a green terror for me but i dont know if i want it now. i keeping thinking that they will get along fine in the 65 but that is highly unlikly. plus this would be overstocking some. whatelse could i get instead of the gt. i was think a pair of convicts or firemouths. wolud they be able to hang with the jd. or would a silnge convict or firemouth do fine. thanks ahead of time for any help or comments

i have two convicts a pair in a tank around the same size as yours and the seem to do jsut fine i havent seen any problems jsut a little more aggresion lately since the convicts are mating but nothing to be worried about so would say it would be fine but i would suggest getting a few dither fish to lessen the aggresion
