# of cichlids in a 110 gallon

[j.blue02]

Im growing out some ebjd.s, texas, argenteas etc...
How many full sized fish will safely fit in my 110 tank?
Im not asking for ideal #s because it probably would be no more than two, but how many can I put in before they want to kill each other?

Thanks

depends on filtration, amount of driftwood/ decorations, fish size etc.

If they are all under 2 inches, Id put them all in and remove problem fish as they arise. Ive had good success doing that, albeit in a much larger tank, but it should work just fine provided you have adequate filtration, hiding spots and breaks in the lines of sight.

Thanks.
Assuming excellent filtration and decor. arrangements, how many full sized cichlids would fit?

The EBJD will be kill by the texas cichlid...

But can someone please tell me how many Adult full sized cichlids can safely be housed in a 110 gallon aquarium

Before they try to kill each other really depends on what type of cichlid. For example 3 midas in a 110 is just asking for problems, even 2 is.
3 Viejas can work, still I wouldn't do it. Also an Argentea gets a lot bigger then an EBJD..

No prob, that's also why I like buying them small, you can watch their aggression develop.
When you all put them together when they are big it is usually a lot harder to make it work.
