I have about 4 cichlids in a 20g growing tank right now they are about 2in
I'm wondering when do I NEED to move them into a bigger tank?

looks like you have africans and a lil loach you should upgrade when they start to reach the 3" mark they can prolly all survive in a 75 or 90 for life the loach will need higher water flow conditions as they are stream fish look into getting some powerheads for your tank
Thanks! yeah they are africans and the dimensions are 2ft X 1ft X 18in
Yeah i also got 2 other loaches in there, the one you see is the alpha loach

seeing as how their are 4 cichlids and 3 loaches you are already overstocked lol but since its a grow out tank you should be fine just keep up your water changes. what size tank you going for as your final display tank?
At first I was thinking about making my own tank. Because My house has this little indent right where the stairs are which is 3.5ft long and 2ft wide and i can make it however tall i want, i was thinking 5 ft.tall and it would be around 260gallons. it would be a good place because it's right in the hallway. BUt you would need about 2.5in acrylic for it too hold all that water. But now im thinking of just buying around 100gallon tank
