What are the best tank mates for GT ?
The thing with SA/CA cichlids are yes we know which species "are" the bad boys. But... That does not mean there are individual fish from any species who are not as aggy if not more. GT's are one of these "hit or miss" types. I don't hold them in the regards of rd,jags,dovii, but more along the lines of Acara,JD, Texas.
In 55g I wouldn't try another med size, I'd go with a couple of smaller, 1 fire mouth, 1 convict. Would stay away from pairs as well.
Larger tanks 75-90-110 although they have the water volume the footprint does not allow for multiple 10"+ fish. Again is try the GT, with a couple a smaller mid aggressive cichlids.
125+ which I personally think would make for best set up. You could have a few mid sized cichlids. Texas, JD, salvini, chocolate, severums, even a Oscar. Obviously not all of these... But 1-3 of them. Depending on which you would pick.
This is all based on if you wanted other cichlids as tankmates.
SD's, bichirs, barbs, gd's, catfish, loaches all can make good tankmates as well. Really if I had more then "what's a good tankmate" i could maybe advise better.
