Hello,
Been reading about stocking options for an extra planted ten I have sitting around before I commit to guppies...
And I saw some people saying you could keep a pack of 10 exodons in a 10.
What's everybody's opinion on this?
I figure that:
1.) Over filtering a 10 is extremely easy.
2.) Water changes on a 10 are extremely easy
So why not?

I think it would make for a really interesting tank.

I'd say a trio should probably be fine, though exodons aren't my strong point.

I'd like to hear what the others have to say.
 
Ah. I was thinking more along the lines of the raw number of 4-5" fish you could keep in there. If they kill each other, it might be a no go.
 
You're right, Rob. While I've never seen a captive Exodon at 4", I have seen them at 3". A 10 gallon tank will only hold about 4 or 5 and that will result on some deaths. They are a very active species and they require a bit more room than a 10 gallon can provide for them

No way you can do this. Need 5 gallons per adult fish, they will rip each other apart. Need to be kept 10+
