Synspilum with P. loisellei?

I have got a synspilum and GT in a 20l temporarily, both about 2". The GT has the Synspilum parked in a corner and I'm not cool with that, he is too cool of a fish. My question is, how might he fare in the 160 with 3x P. Loisellei about 2-3.5" long? I know cichlids all have different personalities and its always a crap shoot, I am just looking for the experts' advice, maybe experience as I'm not fond of torturing fish!!

Thanks guys

Getting Cichlids to coexist in a 20L is flat out ridiculous. Sorry. :) 20L are for pretty fish or fry or a small pair of Cichlids. Put it in the 160 and you should be fine. Though the Loisellei will investigate and may play rough, but there is far more room for the syns to move. I would definitely get it into the 160, and soon.
 
Thanks madness. Yeah it was ridiculous, it was very temporary. I'm not one to try and raise a 14" fish in a 20l! Sold the GT and I am going to try the syn in the 160 shortly.
