[skools717]

im setting up a planted 10 gallon

i was thinking 10, is that suitable?

I would keep at least a dozen

i dont know if 12 is a good idea. i believe that exodos can grow 4+ inches, but i could be wrong.

you could be....

they average around 3" in a home aquarium. 4" is considered XXL for a fish tank. there have been reports of up to 6" in the wild. but this is not common, and is never seen in a home aquarium.
you can do 10 in a 10g tank, but you will need to up your filtration and WC schedule to make sure the water parameters are perfect.

I've been wondering about the size too. Some sites I go on say 6 inches, can someone with experience let us know?

 

[kurtsshotgun]

[skools717]

thats whay i stated the facts and didnt ask for an opinion.

as i said, i did it personally. i dont make guesses.

exodons are a true shoaling characin, and the regular "rules" do not apply. OBVIOUSLY more space is always better, but they do well in tight groups with absolutely no problems.
