Welcome aboard
The Buttikoferi is a very aggressive cichlid. You will probably end up with one even in a 135 gallon. Feeding probably would be easier in the 20 gallon long at that size.

Thanx a lot for the advice Iv done my research on how aggressive they are that why I want them I love very aggressive fish like that I have a 125g also so I’m gonna keep 2 and probably sell or give away the 3rd if they survive…
