Hey guys, was wondering how many endi is too many in a 225g tank. I have 4 right now ranging from 12" - 7". I want to add more like a fly river turtle.... but they got tank mates like 2 blood parrots, 2 indo tigers and 1 arowana. I run a fx5 with a 55g sump with tones of bio balls and nylon pot scrubbers mixed with 10L of eheim pro substrates, going at 1400gph.

how much more birchirs can this take?
 
My tank is 180gal with a 60gal sump tank, and there are around 18X bichirs (averaged 16") plus SR arowana, spoted gar, PB, RTGG. They are doing ok in the tank for at least 5 yrs. For indo tiger, you might count them twice as they are massive eater.

Btw, I have concern with the FRT. I have experienced two FRT. The former one is pretty OK with bichirs, but, the recent one is different. It has two things to do, one is sleep, while another is chasing bichirs tail and tries to taste it. There's no big damage created, but, it makes bichirs look ugly. Who knows, maybe the cute b_st_r would get its lucky meal some day.
Above FYI
 
18x birchirs......holy cow! plus 2 aros, PB and gars...hmm anyways the reason i really want the FRT is b/c this guy is selling one with 6" diameter for a really really good price.
