I think 55g at least. and that may be too small. you'll have to make sure that the 2 cichlids would have territory they could claim and be out of sight of the other or you might get some big fights (you'll have fights anyway but that'll help).

75g would be the smallest I would go with that stock list

I agree, 75 would be the smallest IMO as well

Thanks for the input , do you think a bn plec and green terror would be good for a 55 ?

I would bump it up to a 75 because gts can get 8-10 in as and adult and the standard 55 is 12 inches wide.

Mine 54 gallon would be 16 inch wide ,so would it be ok ?

How long is it? If you did get a 75, you could have a pair.

1 meter long ,and 50 cm tall

I wouldn't just because they can reach the full 10 inches with proper care. 1 meter is about 3 ft. So that's only about three lengths of him to swim.
