Grammodes + Tank size?

[D-Train]

Is a 75 gallon adequate enough room for a full grown male grammodes? Or is it pushing it?

thats fine. They're supposed to get about a foot.

thanks fsm!

55 would prolly work but 75 is great

 

[D-Train]

I dont think 55 would work because 55 is 12 inches wide and a grammy gets that big. I like to give a little extra

You could even do a pair in a 55g IMO. Anyone ever see a 10"+ grammodes? You're hard pressed to find any over 9"...

Stop talking about Grammodes not reaching a foot... You're gonna make me buy one.

Plus aren't they slow growers?

Good post! I want to see some of these 12" grammies people talk about! On average, they don't get close to that -- 9" is a huge fish. A 75 is P-L-E-N-T-Y of space for a grammy and a few friends (cons, danios, etc.).
