thinking of doing a 140 us g scalare tank and was wondering how many I could keep?

Hi Dory,

Which species do you plan to get? Is it the usual Pterophyllum scalare in different variants? You could try at least 10-12 of them there.

yes thats the one I was thinking about.

I would start with 16 and weed out the ones that you don't like until, like lupin said, you have 10-12.

i currently have 12 in my 135g...3 altums and 9 %80 wild brazilian scalares in a planted tank. still doesnt look overstocked. 10-12 adults should be fine in your 140

How does one come up with 80% wildness?

My brain is to tired for math. I can see halfs and quarters. . . but 80ths???
