You can keep them in the 600 as long as you want as long as your filtration/water changes are adequate for the bioload. It's going to be crowed but that's your call. The temensis bass will probably get a bit uncomfortable at some point. What happened to your vatf?

As of now there is about 10x turnober rate with 100 gpd drip which i will increase when i add the rest of the fish and as they get larger.

I figure it would get cramed years for now just was curious as to see how long i would have so i can plan ahead

I still have my vatf and other characins....they are in my 270 6x3x2....hes around 10 inches. Ive noticed hes grown more in girth then length the last few months.

How is yours doing?
 
Mine is doing well but has slowed down considerably. 13"+ now.

You will be surprised how fast fish grow in a tank that size.

I know that's a big tank but you have a lot of fish in there. I would think that within two years your tank is going to be really crowded.

Yea i was thinking that too.....i may need to take some fish out in 1-2 years
 
I don't know about the growth rate for some of those fish but if they all grow around the same rate, you're gonna be like one of those people that has a 55 full of big cichlids lol
