Monos in 250

[Coryd55]

The tank is a 6x2x3 (250 gallon). I plan on have a 55 gallon sump for filtration.

How does two monos sound for the stock?

To much, to little, just right?

Also, I would like to breed the cichlas...

if you plan on getting a pair and breeding them,IMO then you should just have two monos in the tank.

Good luck breeding them. I never knew anyone who successfully did it, although my female dropped eggs several times.

to breed them all u need is a 125, u dont need that big of a tank. If u go with the 250 than i would get like 4 and let 2 of them pair up and get rid of the rest once they do

sorry if what i said was vague...i mean ONCE you get a CONFIRMED pair then just have those two in the tank alone.
and IMO a 125g isnt good for a pair for very long.
tongue had to upgrade.

He would have to keep the pair in a bigger tank of course(in his 250). Once you get a pair you could just put them in their so they can lay their eggs. Well the 125 gallon tank idea came from tongue himself. I pm'd him about it. If the pair was only a foot it would be okay but if they were bigger than the 125 is too small definitely
