Ive got myself 4 baby orinos bout 4 & 5'' at the moment and was hoping that i might eventually get a pair out of them.What size are they able to breed? Would they breed in a tank 4x2x2 with just two of them in there?
 
sorry to be off topic mate, but where did you get your orinos from in australia?? ive been searching for ages!! ive pm'd you aswell by the way. :D

Probably around 3 years and 20+ inches long. 4 foot long tank would be cruel for any mature p-bass. I would have to say 6x2 for a pair of bass would do. DM where in a 7x2 i believe.

i believe dmacks cichla were in a 6x4wide if can remember correctly but like you said id go with the 6x2 bare minimum if not a little wider...
 
yeah his cichla were in a 6x4 but not his breeding pair. lewis was referrings to his breeding tank with the pair of orinos which is only 2 feet wide..:headbang2

Ive got em in my 8x2x2 at the moment,so a 6x2x2 would be the minimum for em in a couple of years if i wanted a pair to start to breed.
