Grammode or RTM

[sbrady5pts]

IMO a rtm could live in a 60 or even a 40 breeder(36 x18x H) They get about the same size as a grammode, so why the big tank size difference. Give him one big cave and the rest open swimming and you will be fine

Neither, if you don't have the time or money.

55 would be OK for grammodes although bigger is always better.

I'd make time, and money..

neither get a 60 gallon.They usually sell for less than a 55 and have are 48 inches long and 15 inches wide.Here in socal you can get them with a stand ,top,and lights for $170

Who makes the 60 gallon? I'm not familiar with that footprint. The motag really needs a 75 and I think a grammode is fine in a 55.

I'm thinking salvini in a 55. What do you think?

 

[darthodo]

I think the grammode is a better choice than a salvini. Neither fish is one that is gonna be out in front begging for food all the time. The grammode will have a chance of using that space better too. I like the looks of the grammode better.

I don't know who makes the 60's but they are a budget minded tank and they are all over the place down here in socal.You can get just the tank for 60 dollars just about anywhere around here.

Tiger Barbs x 7-8 (or some other dither, suggestions?)

So which one should I get?

If going Grammodes, Tiger Barbs as dithers didn't work with mine. Ate one and just decided to kill the others.

Haven't tried giant Danio's, worked ok for my Istlanum.
