Midas help!

Hello monsterfishkeepers!

Was wondering what would be a reasonable number of juvenile midas to buy if I where trying to acquire a breeding pair. I know some maybe picked off. So I'm thinking 10?

10 sounds good. What size tank?

Gonna put the grow outs in my 180 for the time being til a pair forms.

Remember to be sure that the juvies aren't all related but yeah, 10 in a 180 should be fine.

Gotta couple good sources to get different lineage from. Thanks alot!

I usually go with 6, but 10 is always better! Lol

Yeah I kinda expect a casualty or two.

Definitely understandable.

I would just buy the biggest 2 from a few different places. Females are the easy ones to find....always seems to be a male when I buy the biggest one in the tank, but not guaranteed. 6-10 will work, but I usually only need 4, but maybe I was just lucky
