To Break Down or not to Break Down?

[Darth Scohin]

So I have a 75gallon and a 20gallon, it's my 20gallon I'm wondering about I have 5 Calvus, 2 Ottos, and A German and Bolivian Ram. Here in lies the problem I stupidly enough looked up info about Calvus but neglected to realize they are the slowest growing fish on the planet. My original plan was to grow them out in my 20gal and move them into my 75gal. So a LONG story short. Should I break down my 20gal and turn it into a African Biotope and move my S American fish into a 10gal?

10 is to small for any of those fish!

You dont wanna keep Calvus in a 20g. They require space to feel good. And in my experience Calvus get easily stressed.

10 is to small for any of those fish!

Agreed. 100g.

When my Calvus get bigger I'm moving them into my 75gallon, so a 10gal is too small for 2 Ottocinclus Cats(I had 4) and a German Ram and Bolivian Ram?

 

[livebearerfreak]

nope to small

 

[Darth Scohin]

Agreed. 100g.

I don't have Common Pleco's here dude, I would like to know why 8" of fish is too small for a 10gal? My Calvus will stay in the 20gal until they're big enough

 

[Joshw]

Your calvus should be fine in the 20gal until they are grown

I understand but will the DWARF cichlids be good in a 150gph 10gal with two DWARF suckerfish? Thank you for the response Josh
