GrowOut?

[Eleven Bravo]

It's been a while since i posted a thread. Last year all my cichla passed away. So it took me awhile to bounce back on my feet This is my first time owning baby cichlas, right now i have 5 cichla at about 1.5"-2" currently in 10g. I wanted to know how long should i toss them in the 30g wide truvu, or just go straight to the 120g. More importantly if they go in the 30g it will be in my bedroom, or 120g in the garage.

Enjoy them they can be moved more than once. Ultimately they'll wind up in the 120 but at least you know that. I say take them in the bedroom for a bit.

since theyre small,you can just keep them where you see them alot.

i keep growouts in smaller tanks as long as i can so i know for sure they are getting plenty of food and water changes are easier. my pbass from rich are in a 20L and will stay for quite a while...

im keeping mine in a 30gal grow out as well, I already have the 125gal set for them but feel more comfortable leaving them in the 30gal at 2.5" and plus i have a 5" motoro in the 125gal, and don't trust him at all....lol

get that 120 in your bedroom and problem solved.

thanks everyone. im going to leave them in 30g until they outgrow it. I wish i could put the 120g in bedroom, i room is on the second floor.

unless you have an old house I don't think it's out of the question to have a 120 on the second floor. I used to have a 125 in my room it was on the second floor and our house is about 100 years old. I also had two 75s on top of eacother up there also. The only thing bad about a big tank on the second floor is carrying it!
