Is a 5x3x2 enough??

CichlaLoverer · Feb 23, 2015

I have a 5x3x2 acrylic tank and I am wondering to myself is it big enough???

My stock plans!
2 (black aros) or 1 (leichardti)
1 vittatus tiger
2 bd rays
2 cichla bass pair

Big enough for one or two of those specimen each imo...not all. My 5'x3'x2' is a nice ray growout for 2 8"-10" rays but thats all i keep in it, and its not "for life" or anything.

Not if I was doing it. Also, unless accounted for very carefully I think the bio load would be to much for the rays to handle.

I believe the rays would require an 8 x 4 footprint when full grown.

Would they be okay for a grown out tank?

That tank is too small for any of those fish.

1 jar and a big pleco maybe, or instead of rays a bicher gang perhaps?
