Safe grow out tank size

[yngggru]

Im currently keeping my three 3" bichirs in a 10gal tank with good filtration and wc every other day. Is this a safe grow out tank or should I move them to my 35? The problem with the 35 is its outside and I think its too big for them. I wont be able to monitor them feeding and everything + I dont think they would be able to feed right cause even when I placed a stack of 3/4in pvc pipes, they dont use it and just stay in the corners or on top of the powerhead. I hope the 10 is good cause I can feed them anything there without any trouble. thanks!

Well i get what your saying about them feeding, but most people like to say (especially on MFK) the bigger the better. If they are in a bigger grow-out tank they will have a lot more room to swim and grow. As far as feeding IMO if they are hungry they will find the food lol, but if you notice one that for some odd reason can't ever locate the food before it's gone and you feel he not getting enough put only him in the 10. IMO I would put them all in the 35.

Thanks! I think I'll do that cause one endli is smaller than the others and he seems to be the only one having trouble with eating. And I saw your post abt the illegal fish thing. I think you should def report the guy. Some people just want the fish in their tanks, and dont give a damn abt them in the wild and stuff. Sucks to see such selfish people. Thanks again!
