Red Terror Vs Green Terror

this ought to ruffle some newbie feathers: in most cases a RT owns GT. hell they are not even in the same aggression class. a GT is more in the oscar, JD, vieja class (semi-aggressive). RTs on the other hand are in the bruiser class (Devil, midas, trimac, etc).
twin - so is this unusual the a juvie GT is highly aggressive, or are they more like a dempsey in regards to vicious when young, and more mellow as they grow? And the festae is the opposite?
He's the new kid. . . and the new kid always gets f***ed with. Put them both in there with a divider for a month and then take it out. . . my money says the RT would be a whole different kind of aggressive if you did that.
i would say.....red terrors...because of there overall aggression levell...all the gt ive had are fairly docile and usually are the ones getting torn apart..but then again a larger gt..would easily take out a smaller rt...
i had a 2 green terrors and 1 red terror. the red terror killed the larger green terror but the smaller one stood his ground pretty well so im voting for GT
Best answer.Jason_S;381295; said:red terrors won't show their real aggression until they are in the 4-5" range. this is when they become real monsters. you may come across a tame one now and then, but for the most part they are very aggressive and often times intolerant of any tankmates. yours got punked cause it's still a juvie.
Haha I didn't see the date who dig this up? Anyway still the best answer
IME, Gt's bark is worse than their bite. Mine have been very aggressive but don't have what it takes to back it up so they get owned. Unfortunately, getting the crap kicked out them doesn't teach them anything, they keep going back for more punishment. 
ok yeah who dug up a 4yr old thread lol, but yeah either way i agree with spherical cube's answer, RT got punked because he was new in the tank and the GT was established, if it was the other way around and you were adding a GT juvie to a RT's tank then it would probably get killed, my little male festae i have is only 3in and hes been in with much larger fish than him since he was 1.5in (all other fish AT LEAST double his size at any time, most being even bigger than that) and he has always been able to hold his own
