Kelberi growth rate question

[ado124]

I did a quick search but wasn't able to find a similiar post. I have four 2" kelbs and was wondering how long before they'd outgrow a 75g, a 120g, and would a 400g be large enough for four?

Right now, I'm feeding them 3x a day but will cut it back to twice a day at 4" and once a day at 6". Weekly water changes of about 30%.

Please don't tell me to skip the 75g and 120g and go straight to the 400g.

Thanks in advance for any info you may be able to provide me!

400g will be good for life for 4 of them

Thanks Nexxus for the quick reply,
How long will the 75g and the 120g last?

from what i hear they grow as slow as orinos.. so maybe the better part of a year

My pair are still comfortably living in a 125 and I've had them for over 3 years.

Yeah they grow really slow, and they are one of the "smaller" species of Cichla. 400g would be mint for those guys. You might even have room for a couple more with a tank that size

IMO you could probably have 8 in a 400g....
and thats WITH other fish.
