I am wondering if I could add adult sized fish into a 90g for a couple of months until my 300g is set up. Current the tank has 2 OB peacocks and 1 albino peacock, all ~4". I can add as many or as few as I want (either due to colour or asking price), 1 each of the following:
N. venustus ~5"
F. rostratus
Copadichromis borlei
Protomelis steveni taiwan
N. livingstonii
Placidochromis milomo
I've seen these fish a few weeks ago but don't remember the actual current sizes of these fish. Some may still have some growth left, I don't know. I will also be ordering 12 peacocks/haps next week that will be in the 3" range (10 intended for the 300g). The haps are 1 or 2 Cyrtocara moorii, 1 or 2 Protomelas spinolatus tanzania, 1 or 2 Protomelas taeniolatus. Planning on putting those in a 45g temporarily as well, I assume they couldn't go in the 90 as well? That bumps me to 18 fish. Several people have been of the opinion that I can hopefully get away with having the odd hap as 2 males in the tank as it has an 8'x24" footprint.
Current filtration on the 90 is 2 aquaclear 110's (I think, the biggest ones anyways). Filtration on the 300 will be a 140g sump.
Any thots would be appreciated. In a perfect world I've have my floor reinforced and the 300g in place....grumble grumble
