I have always heard the rule of thumb for exodons is to have half as many exo's as you do gallons of water. So 5 exo's in a 10, 10exo's in a 20g, and so on and so forth. If they are not cramped in a tank they will start to pick off the smaller and weaker fish. i never believed this rule so i stuck 6 in a 20g a while back and in a week they had killed one, so everyone told me to etheir get more or put them in a smaller tank. So i put the remaining 5 in a 10g and they have lived peacefully ever since. That was about 6months ago. ----------basically with exo's you can throw all the regular laws about fish keeping out the window.

So just find out how many you want to buy and size a tank accordingly.

I had 12 in a 29g for a year. no problems at all.

you dont care as long as its beast?
get a 20 x 20 foot tank and have about 100 billion of them in there...
honestly,we cant tell you if you dont give more detail.
