Adding Kelberi

[RobE]

I have 2 of rapps third batch kelberis and I have them in a 75 gal, the largest is about 8" or so and is getting a little cramped. I have my 180gal with a 14" ocell and a 12" mono hybrid and was wondering at what size the kelberi needs to be to go in with them. Thanks.

I think if you put them in now they are going to catch a beat down since you have 2 bigger ones...Get more and that should help spread the beatings.

I am also worried about my kelberi becoming dinner. How close in size should they be to insure they can't be eaten?

Just do a 50% water change move the decore around, then add the kelberi's. I did that with my smaller Peru mono 7'' with my 14'' mono and my 10'' ocell. The bigger bass will be like "where the hell you come from"....

I have these fish now and they're all together as well. No issues. However, I'd say they've all grown an inch or two.

Your kel and my orino I had are pushing 6-7" now. They might be going in the big tank soon as well.
