Hi!

No, to small. Under 200 Liters I wouldn't chose charax gibbosus.

Even there not with comunity...

54L seems quite a bit to small of a tank, If you go with a larger tank then they do prefer to be kept in small groups rather than alone so 3-5 is a good number. Remember that they are quite sensitive to temperature fluctations and tend to get ich if chilled.

well i was thinking better and the charax will go to my 160 L aquarium. in the 54L i putted one male guppy and 2 females.

Can you give more information about the charax? In google i can't find information. Can i breed them?

thnx

Hey!

100/40/40 has the same ground-messurement as my prefered 200 Liters, seems to be enough.

Information is rare... they like to be keeps in shools as said and they're told to be the little version of the biger characins... eats little neon-sized fish.
can't tell you if they bite biger fish' fins.

Regards Tommi.

As long as the temp is stable they are not hard to keep but I have found no info on breeding.
