[salsa]

In a 125?

Its a standard 6'x18"x2'

you can purchase about 10-12 baby reds due to being cannalbalistic at young ages then slowly thin out the group, for life I would keep 5.

 

[Bsixxx]

you could keep up to 8 adult fish in there maybe 10 if your lucky

8-10 adults reds is the wrong adive to give another member

No woundering your not on pfury anymore

your filters wouldnt be able to handle the bioload of 8-10 adult reds, your reds could be stressed and be more territorial than they are when overstocking.

I'd say about 6, maybe 7 at the most adults...

I would be running 2 hob rated at 350gph each and a wet dry at probably 1000-2000gph, I haven't bought a pump yet but I am looking at one that is 1500gph. I think I will have a good enough filter to keep up with the bioload., So based on space alone, how many?

5-6 adult reds

There is alot of disagreement, how many should I get? I can get 10 3"ers for $150 so I am thinking about doing that.
