Its usually a 135 from what I looked at.
No problem! Good luck with that tank! What about Green Terrors? Or Red Texas Cichlids?
very good. i have been thinking about upgrading so it will be best to give them more space, got it
If you want to keep a pair for a good long time i would shoot for an 8x2x2 at least.
I found a beautiful male at the Wet Spot. I got him on pure impulse, but took him back knowing that I couldn't get him the tank he needs.
I also believe a 125 could work for a long time for a pair (no other fish).
But if they actually reach full potential something larger might be needed.
It may be advisable to add a divider with an escape space large enough for the female to get thru, but too small for the male, if he gets too rambunctious.
Might also be a good idea to get more than 2, to start with, males will often kill off a few females before settling in on a comparable one.
Just because you get a male and females, doesn't they will be acceptable to each other.

that was smart to do that.
