Petsmart has some little firemouths for $2.99. I have a 29 that is empty and was wondering if I could put a group of those guys in there??

How many Firemouths in a 29 gal?
- Thread starter STONEDFISH
- Start date
I used to have a few in a mixed cichlid tank and they were kinda all bluffers and never really chased anyone. There were much larger fish in with them, though. It would be cool to see if I could find a pair though. Would I just buy like 5 and wait and see if they pair off?

thats what i am doing. i have 4 in my 29g right now hopeing i get a pair out of them. they are still to little to pair up i think but we shall see.
yeah buy like 5-6 and wait a pair would proubly be the only cichlids you could have in there 3 females might work they will fight with each other but back down to other fish
No way you should be putting more than 1 or 2 FM's in a 29. Even a pair is pushing it IMO
Do you have room in your other tanks? Could grow one or a pair out in the 29 but its not a suitable tank for life

wouldnt put more than a pair in a 29gal. kinda pushing the limits tho. Ive seen some good sized specimens that were about 6" or so and prolly wouldnt be comfortable in a 29.
