silver dollar tank

[voss345]

my cousin is 11 and just started to cycle his newest tank a 125, except it has saltwater dimensions so it is like 4by2 by 2o"
he wants to do a bunch of silver dollars
i was thinking he could at least fit 6 to 8 in the tank
he also wanted to do a few bichirs
any suggestions, he should be coming to the site soon so he can gain a wealth of help idea's and knowledge

Should be able so put many, many silver dollars in a 125 and a huge amount if filtered with an airator.

yea he has an fx5 on it so alot of filtration, i was thinking around 8 and have room for some other fish

i think with a good enough filtration you could keep 7-9 in there and still be able to add maybe a senegal or ornate? bichir i mean

I'd get 6 and then put 1 senegal,1 delhezi, and 1 polli palmas. Have be on the verg of overstocking if not already.

i dont think that would be over stocking maybe if you loaded over with silver dollars, i think getting 8 originally would be more feasible for the long run
depends on what sizes i can get them in and what amounts

 

[voss345]

the filtration wont be a problem it has like a 7 times turn over

im gonna go against the norm and say you could put 20 in there. that is if they are common SD's, they grow fairly slow and usually only hit 6" and a monster shoal of em would be cool. not shure if bichirs would do well with alot of SD's. the bichirs would have a hard time getting food, SD's are greedy mofo's and lightning quick.
