I just purchased a redheaded cichlid today and he is currently floating. I have an oscar that is about 6 inches right now and the redhead is about 4.5 inches.
Would it be all right to house these two together in a 55 for now?
I'd say you have a very short amount of time, I'd also say that they might not make great tank mates no matter the size of the tank... Now, if it were a red head severum then we'd be talking something totally different.... Synspilum have the ability cause major havoc... For no aparent reason some times...
The search for a new tank begins.....and where to put it! Ha. I appreciate your help. This is what I get for buying compulsively...I just had to have him though.
Eh, I'd say 75.... They are very robust cichlids...
