Few questions please

[rickyricardo]

I have a question for you guys (and gals). I have a 110 gal High tank. I plan on stocking it with piranha. I was thinking of getting Red Bellies, I want to get them small so I can raise them from the start. So maybe 5 1". I have thoughts of getting a larger tank but for now I need to know how many I can keep in the 110 forever.


thanks..........soon to be piranha owner.

48"L X 18"W X 30"H

I'd like to upgrade, but I'd rather plan on not upgrading. If it happens great if not I want to be set with what I got.

well forsure you can keep 3 adult nats in there for life, some may say more

it's the same footprint as a 75, so 3 or 4 would be a good number for life, but if you wanted to keep the tank interesting and there is the possibility of upgrading in the future, you could pick up a dozen or so and thin out the shoal as they grow or move them into a larger tank if you get one.
