School of Mala's

I've seen it done before. I know a guy on another board that had multiple 14"+ mala's in a 180g, some were around 16".

I think it would be hit or miss though.

Yea, this is one of those situations where each case is different. Hopefully, each fish will be able to tolerate one another. I think the 24" foot print is more than adequate though for turning space.

ya i had to sell ur mala he was tearin everyone up when the lights went out

i would try a group of rainbow or gold wolves, alot more active and would prob be alot more fun to watch at feeding time

I have 8 malas in one tank. 135 gallon. I have had them since the day they were born on Jan. 2009. They are extremely active and will eat anything I put in the tank.They are all about 11 inches. The only time I had any problem was about 3 weeks ago a female had eggs, she kept 6 of the other fish on one side of the tank and left 1 male where the eggs were.Chris.

ive done it,in smaller tanks.
no problems,and done multiple times.

when given too much space,they will form territories.
you really dont want that.

I've tried to mix wolves - Sp. Peru and Mala -lasted about a month - RIP Sp.Peru.

I'd agree w/ the best bet being get'm young and small, maybe they'll grow up to tolerate each other.
