Polypterus endlicheri in 140 gallon

Chrigu · Dec 23, 2018

Hello everyone

I have a 140 gallon Fish Tank. The mesurements are 60"x20"x30" (LxWXH). Currently im keeping an Oscar, on Polypterus weeksi, one Polypterus palmas, one Polypterus delhezi, one Polypterus ornata and one lima shovelnose. Id like to keep a Polypterus endlicheri too, do you think it would fit in this tank?

The Tank is filtered by a Fluval FX6.

Thanks for the reponses and sorry for my bad endlish.

I wouldn’t add it. Think it’s plenty of polys.

agreed, but if your absolutely set on having one I'd get a larger tank or ramp up the filtration

Yea I would say that it's almost slightly over stocked

Remove the oscar and do a poly carpet, no such thing as over stock when it comes to poly carpet, joke joke.

I think you’ll be fine, what are the sizes of your fish?

You’ll be fine with stock if your doing at least 50% every 5-6 days. Feeding every other day rather than everyday will keep it cleaner as well My tank is not much bigger than yours 6x2x26” and I’m adding more polypterus
