HI EVERYONE,
my tank is new and has 2 Green Terrors and 1 oscar in it 75 Gal.

The GT dont bother the Oscar at all, but it seems like the slightly larger GT likes to chase the other GT into hiding everytime it comes out to swim.

They were in a tank on thier own in the store, and once I got them home, I did notice that the Tail on the smaller one is half nibbled off. I will have to assume now that the other one has been injuring him/her.

I bought them as I thought they were a pair, but im not sure about that now, and Im not sure what do do about it.

If I remove the smaller GT will he now turn his sights on the Oscar? or should I just keep the smaller GT and get rid of the larger and obviously more agressive GT..

those of you with Experience in this area, please help me with a decision.

thanks!

Andrew
 
I had the same problem, honeslty green terror are very aggressive. It's hard getting a par together IMO. I'm going to have to assume you have two same sexed GTs thus the aggression do you have any photos? Or does one of the two of a hump on there forehead? This would indicate male. You could also very well have an overly aggresive male. Try getting pics so we can help out more, for now I'm going with either there both same sex or you have a very aggressive male on your hands.

ok here are 2 pics. One is of an abvious Male, and the second pic is the "possible female" but is getting chased around the tank like nobody's business!

Her/his tail is chomped up, but this was done in the pet store. these two were together in a tank (alone) and I and the guy there asumed they were a piar.

if they are 2 males, i will return one... most likely the more aggressive one (if I can catch him that is....)

Sorry mate your pics aren't loading on my comp.
 
They both look to young the second one you think is a male looks like it'll grow up to be a male. I'm not sure, his fins are long a pointed and has some bold coloring I'd have to go with the smaller ones to young and the larger is a male.
 
Yeah photo doesn't help you will need to vent them to determine sex..
 
i think we are forgetting something here isn't a 75 to small for an oscar and two green terrors???
 
Yes it is in the long run but if they are small to medium size the OP has a little bit of time to upgrade.. In which i would say a 120gal would be a nice upgrade..
