How many datnoids?

[davion2183]

Hi guys... have a 165 gallon tnk. Tank measurements are 150 x 60cm x 70 cm.. and its a planted tank. How many datnoids can i keep optimally in this tank?

Depends on what sizes of datnoids are you planning to house inside that tank

I think i want to keep them around 6-8" at most.

5-7 fishes should be okay because Datnoides are slow grower

Nice one ZidanSanz!

Hey Zidan... if 5-7? What size max will they grow too?

165 gallon is quite a reasonable sized tank and your dats will easily grow to 14" or more given the right food and water conditions.

I keep a batch in the pond (800 gals) and another batch in a canvas tank (400+ gal)
