So I have a ruby red spilo and would like to grow my collection alittle. I am interested in a blue diamond rhom, elongatus black mask, and a purple spilo. What size tank does each fish need as an adult (including the ruby red)? Thanks
 
75g would be good for them (if you get a blue diamond at small size) and a 40 or 50g breeder tank would be good for sanchezi (purple spilo)
if you get a 12" blue diamond or bigger than go for a at least 2ft wide tank, 120g (4x2x2) or 180g (6x2x2).
had my 12" diamond in a 4'x4' footprint tank, it's much happier in there as compare to when i had it in 6'x2' footprint tank.
