heckelii in a 125

[devder1]

i have decided to go with a group of heckelii in my 125. i am going to order them online at 3-3.5" and i was just wondering how many? i am thinking 8 just in case and if they all grow out to maturity and there are to many i can give away any problem causers
does this sound like a good plan or are there any things you would reccomend i do different?

8 would be a good number for a 125g.

Gorgeous fish!

I kept 6 in a 120 (4ft x 2ft x 2ft) with no issues. They were about 6-7".

I'd personally go for 6-7.

Ok I am going to get 8 just in case, it will be much easier to rehome 2 then find 2
