Howdy,

Check out the stickies and let us know what else you want to find out.

180 liters is only about 50 gallons so i wouldn't recommend keeping any RBP's in that size aquarium. IMO 75 gallons is the minimum for a shoal of 3. You could keep 1 in there but it would be really boring. keeping 2 is never a good idea, one ends up being dominant and picks on the other. That's full grown though, if you plan on upgrading later get a bunch and upgrade as they grow.

As Harley said, the rest of the info you need is in the stickies.

Good Luck :cheers:
 
Cheers people i wasnt thinking of upgrading thats the thing :( i have 2 180s already havent really got the room otherwise i would love it!

You could try a species of serra. They require a tank of they're own and you could keep one in your tank pretty easily. The majority tend to be shy when juvies and may be considered boring.

there are many pirahnas that can go in a 50g by themselves... take for instince a ruby red spilo or a purple spilo... very aggresive and super colorful fish... I have one and he is in a 20g long AND he effin loves it... so... thats what I would do

pirahnas do intrest me wuite alot not because of the fact the aggressive ad have teeth etc but because of there presence i na tank if you get what i mean, how much do purple spilo cost??
 
Can't pull up the info you need while posting from my phone but you're on the greatest fish keeping site in the world....search exodons.

They're small 3 or 4 inch fish that act like red bellies should. Look on YouTube. They cannot be kept with others as they're fin nippers
