55G

[Fishes33]

I know this stressed them ALOT, but I have to do it to in order to make an exact measurement...

They are ALOT bigger than I expected, and sadly they killed my baby black pacu...

Anyway, is it possible to keep them in a 55G tank for a few years??? Welcome on any comment and input!



They are natteri right? ^^

It depends on who many reds you are planning to keep in a 55gal.

I think you can keep 4 of them as much but not any more without compromising water quality and good life conditions for your reds.


Cheers.

I can tell you right now if your looking for an exact measurement (not sure why this is so important) you are measuring incorrectly.

A 55 gallon will work for a few years. No guarentee that your fish will though....there is always the possibilty of cannabalism. Even more so when the space limited. Keep your eye open for a good deal on a bigger set up.

Good colors!

since you took those pics from the future (date 26/02/2012) I'm going to say those 3 rbps you have will be fine since when you took the pics they were still alive.

How long did it take for them to reach their size? What size were they when you got them?

Ive tried it, and my fish werent even that big, they bounced off the walls in a 55 so much. I fed em cichlid gold they werent skittsh really, but man when they would run around they bounced off every piece of glass.

55 is too small for any pygo I think

That many might be too much for a 55.

I bought them, because I was interested in the 6" gold rhom, (part of the red belly shoal) but sadly he didn't make it
