exodons in a 10 gallon

[bitteraspects]

how bout just 5?

from what iv heard of exos in groupes of less than 10 they will all kill each other k

the smallest successful goup i have seen was 6. it started as a group of 8, and ended up with 6 after the weak ones died or were killed off. however, i would not suggest less then 10.

so you are saying 10 fish in a 10 gallon tank??? at full size thats 30in of fish that sounds a little crazy to me.

it has been proven that the one inch per gallon rule is not the "law" of stocking an aquarium, its just a "helper" rule

10 exodons in a 10 gal seems perfect to me.

its a rule generally used when dealing with larger fish and larger tanks. but can be applied to smaller applications. also, it is commonly misunderstood as 1" per gallon, when in fact it is 1" squared /gal.

this "rule" is more of a newbie guideline for people who dont have a full understanding of things like filtration, water change, water parameters, nitrogen cycle, ect. running off a concept of minimum stocking for minimum maintenance, its used to basically "keep things simple", but is by no means a definitive law of fish keeping.

exacto........

i agree that less than ten exos should be kept together........ otherwise (like stated before) some will get picked off

A 10 gal. is pretty cramped quarters for an active schooling fish. Experienced keepers could probably pull it off. I wouldn't tell anyone that it was a good idea.

its perfectly fine. all the necessary info has been stated above in regards to WC/filtration. it will be much worse to have less in a small tank, then to have the group of 10.
like i said. more space is always better, but 10 will be fine.
any further questions, feel free to PM me for more specific suggestions.
