26g bowfront ok for some L046 Zebras??

[michael]

Going to set up a tank just for zebra plecos...roughly 5-8 of them. With an ok filter you think they will be ok to thrive in this? I know they dont get big and I have the tank lying around...or should I get something bigger?

 

[Will Hayward]

A male and a few females. Wouldnt risk more than that.

looks alright to me. they stay around three inches i think, so judging from outdated methods still used today, your good lol.

I'd go on the lower side of what you've quoted.

 

[WyldFya]

I'd stop at 3 in that small of a tank.

A colony of 8 is fine in a tank that size, assuming it is long and not tall.

 

[Will Hayward]

You are crazy.

26 bowfront is very small foot print. Roughly the same as a 20G H.

 

[COL]

Oh. Maybe a colony of 5-6, then.

You are crazy.

Not only am I crazy--I've also spawned the species in question. Come again?
