Bricardi setup plans

[Bogwoodbruce]

I'm getting a new 24x15x15 tank from a friend, And i was wondering if this would be a suitable setup for some Bricardi? My LFS has got quite a few nice specimins in. My uncle has been keeping and breeding some in with his Frontosa. And how many should i go for? A trio with plenty of rock or and coral sand substrate? Cheers!

I could be. I'd be happy with a nice pair, i still think i'll get na trio so i can get a mlae and 2 females. I'm getting the tank next weekend.

I am not sure with a brichardi you will need a trio... often with a trio you will end up with a pair... after that they will fill the tank with fry... which will be allowed to remain and help with the following spawns...

My uncle says that i can have about 5 of his 1" Young for free so i'm gonna get these.

With five you will def. get a pair. I don't know how many will remain once a pair has formed. They a tough little guys w/ big additude.

Thats not a problem my LFS will take them off of me. I just need to get the tank and get it up and running.
