*Grammodes Question*

[Stump]

I really shouldn't even be thinking about this yet, but...




In your opinion or experience, considering dimensions of the tank, what is the smallest tank size that would be able to house a grammodes for life?

I've heard mixed things on this, so this will help a lot.


Thanks in advance.

I think a 55g would do for a LONG time, if not for life for one or a pair.

55G or 50G breeder would be great for a long time they grow very slow

Even a 29g or 40g breeder would last a single grammode a year or two if you got the gram around 1''-2''

 

[Stump]

... Maybe a 40g Long...?

 

[cchhcc]

40 breeder or 55

I definately could get another 40 Breeder... That sounds really good.



edit: sorry killerfish, I skipped right over your post somehow..Thank you


edit 2: If I were to get the 40B, hypothetically, I couldn't put anything else in the tank, correct?

Yep. The 40 breeder and 55 gallon ideas are perfect.

I wouldn't put anything in with the grammodes with a tank that size... The grammode would kill most likely anything else you put in with it.

 

[Stump]

That's exactly what I was thinking... It will be completely worth it though.

If you wanted to put other fish in there, just try a bunch of livebearers and a mass of floating plants. It'll work out one way or another (probably a source of live food as they produce fry).
