How many gallons for 9 Midas?

[muscle]

I bought 9 midas from Gage. The plan was to grow them out a bit slowly getting rid of my least favorite. There are 8 males and one female. They range from 5 - 7 inches. What size tank would I need to keep all of them together as they are now?

Nine fish x seven inches equals a 63 gallon tank

I think a 125 would be sufficient for the size they're at now. That's w good filtration and weekly water changes

Also some nice tall line-of-sight breaks so the weaker ones can escape aggression if need-be.

LOL. No. Nine 7 inch cichlids in a 63 gallon tank. This is probably the worst thing I've read on this forum. I have an 7-8 inch midevil that's about to be put into a 75..... alone.

Bderick was being sarcastic using the bs inch per gallon rule. He wasn't serious

for that size of fish and to grow for a while till you upgrade, I'll say around 200g. When it gets too big then make the move to bigger tank. 9 is a lot if they are adults 16"
