4 rbps in 55 gal tank bad idea?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
you only can put in there couple of months only. they will out grow the 55g very fast. I recommend to get a 125g or bigger for 4 of them for life.

reb bellies can grow up to 6-8"within the first year with proper care and will maintain tank.

o so 4 rbps that are 6 inch wont fit in a 55 gal


it will fit but they wont' be happy...is like putting 4 people in the closet together.

If you do put in there, after time thing will happen like

-fiight and kill over terrietory
-stun the grow-
-stress

piranha need atleast 20g space room to swim and atleast 30g space for adult piranha...so 55g are no no! just my 2 cent though:D

I was only going to keep them in their till christ mas when i would get like an 100 gallon

by Christmas you will maybe end up with 3 or 2 left...trust me, just get a bigger tank for them first..

if you want to take the risk it's up to you. i won't do it if i would you.
