what's the dimensions of the 67g? three reds don't really need a 90g and there isn't a whole lot of difference between the two tanks except for wasted space if you put 3 in a 90g.

IMO they will grow to the same size in either tank. What defines how big a red will get is time, genes, diet, water changes/nutrients. As said before you'll rarely find a red raised in a tank over 10". BTW, those corys/pleco and whatever other fish in there are all dead in due time..
 
shhh :P i figued that out when i found cory heads the chilid lives there cause he was mean to my cuda now he's with fish that arnt as bullyable but they pay no atention to him at alll even when fighting with eachother but ya due time. i feeed them 4 kinds of white fish some beeef heart like once a month umm i guess corys some times even shimp but it bust's up hella it to the water. the 67 is 36x18x24 i beleave.
 
i see stunted growth soon...yea upgrade asap, whats the dimension? i know you said 67g but whoa looks like a small 20g
 
I have 3 9" RBP in a 75. The guy I got them from had them in a 90. I also have a 7" Johanna Pike in there. The pike kept beating up all my other fish. I put him in the 75 expecting him to be devoured. But he fights backs. He also schoals with the Rb's when its feeding time. He helps to circle the prey and once the P's have bitten off a few chunks he helps himself to the food.

Food= Sunfish, crappie, Minnows, Market Shrimp.
