would a pair of n. brichardi be okay in a 20 gallon? at this point i have a trio that have claimed a cave in a separate tank, and would like to move them to a 20 so the remaining (5) brichardi can pair up (hopefully). all pairs of brichardi will ultimately end up in my 90G in two or three months.
my concern is the growth of the fish. my water is immaculately clean, 1/3 change twice a week... is there enough space in a 20 gallon high for n. brichardi to fully grow. i'm afraid of stunting... in a 90 gallon i would imagine the brichardi will get fairly large, but i don't want to sabotage that by keeping them in a 20 g high for any amount of time.
right now all 8 brichardi are growing out in a 30 X 17" tank (approximately 27 gallon). they are about 1 1/2 to almost 2"...
any thoughts/ideas/suggestions?
