so for a red devil, a spotted raphael cat, 7 senegals, 2 ornatipinnis, 2 dempseys, 3 red hooksa couple of smaller plecs, a grass pickerel, a jurensis, and a lmb, how many gallons? 300 ok?

 

[BushFishRox]

ya a 300 wide should be fine...

You're going to mix natives with THESE fish!? Yeah I see that workin out great for ya bro! Them polys are gonna get owned in the long run.

I'd go 350 at least. You've got the tank stocked pretty heavily, plus you've got some big fish going up in there. The more room you have, the better.

My LMB is 22" long. You can't really say that a fish will only get so big.

I agree, of course assuming they stay alive long enough to reach those potential sizes

im sorry but you have your measurements wrong. lmbs rarely grow smaller than smbs. lmbs are larger but are more mellow than smbs. however your tank sizes are fine. smbs USUALLY don't grow more than 14 to 20 inches however they are highly territorial and thusly they are highly aggressive and need larger tanks. lmbs ALMOST always grow larger than smbs. chain pickerel measurements seem good, but ive never caught a 24" chain pickerel.
