Rhom (how big of a tank do you need for multiples?)

[koop171]

Like it says I thinking the other day and I was wondering what size tank you would need to be able to peacefully keep more then one rhom?

I know they are big and I know they are very agressive. But my knowledge is in RBPs.

It would have to be 200+ I am assuming.


So any of you rhom owners out there. Do you have more then one in a single tank and if so how many and how big. Also if the tank is divided then I'm not interested. It has to be more then one rhom in a tank that's NOT split up with divders.


And if anyone finds pics of this multy rhom setup plz post.

i don't think 200 gallons is enough. nor would any tank big enough for a home or small museum.

Man you guys can't read some times. IDK where you got two rhoms from multiple. I know you can't keep two so three or more. It has to be able to be done. If you had a 12'x2'x2' that would give 360gal. And if you had three in this setup it would be 120gal per fish. I think it's possible. I just want to know if anyone has done it.

And I'm pretty sure I could house 3 in my tank if I wanted to.

It has been achieved i kow of a friend who has three in a 12x3x3 tank each one occupies 2 foot of tank one at each end and in the middle, there is no point.

They are not going to school so they will just set up territories and either stay put or constantly fight...why would you want that?

One nice looking rhom is enough why send money on multiple rhoms when you could buy 1 awesome looking one, another point to consider.

all you will have is stressed and injured fish
so unless you've got a river, forget it

I don't knwo where anyone got the idea That I was going to do this. I just wanted to knwo if anyone has. It's something i would be interested in seeing. not having personally. I would rather Have one big rhom insted of wasting a huge tank on a few.




So it clarify does anyone know of anyone or themself keep 3 or more rhoms in a tank of there own.



I DO NOT WANT TO KEEP MANY FOR MYSELF BUT WISH TO SEE THE SETUP.
