appropriate tank size?

[Cichlidfever]

What would be the minimum tank size to house a pair of Black Nasty. Raising them from babies up to adults, in other words life time...

Never kept them myself but know of folks who kept an adult pair in a divided 75G.

black nasty? never heard of them, and if i google it, nothing about fish comes up

black nasty? Whats the latin name?

 

[haynchinook334]

Nandopsis Haitiensis

Given that the males grow to 15'' and the females smaller. I'd say a 125gal.

These are about the most aggressive cichlid around and have been known to kill dovii twice there size...tankmates will NOT be tolerated. Red devils are aggressive and these fish make them look passive.

i wouldnt do anything under a 75 for just one, so maybe a 125 at the minimum for a pair.

I have never seen one grow to 15 inches. But I have seen them 9 - 12 inches.

 

[Jason_S]

I'd say 120 (4' x 2' x 2') or 125 minimum for a pair.
