I am thinking of getting a trio for my 55g with 2 senegals and a delhezi

They get around 6" TL.

Absolutely minimum would be a 55g. I'd recommend the length of a 75g though for a trio

75g is the same length of 55g. The only difference is the 75g is 6" wider. :screwy:

Ah well i guess we have different standards in our countries

a 75g is 130cm where a 55g is 100cm here in denmark

i've seen a few a good 8", i'll wait for JD or Peter to chime in since it was their fish :popcorn:

you could prolly get away with a 55g but if you can swing for a 75g or something with a 48x18 footprint, do it

Ah then you should be able to get away with a 55g.

Go for it and see how it goes
