the-obstacle Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I'm planning stock for my new tank and thought I'd see what aqadvisor has to say about the stock levels. When I put in geo. altifrons it tells me 700L is not going to be big enough for 8 adults but if I put in 8 geo. suri. instead it's only 50% of my tank stock levels. Does this seem right? Everything I've read suggests they both grow to 25-30cm as adults. I guess the real question is - are 8 geos too many for a 700L tank?

David R Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Regardless of what the internet says or what they're called, the fish we get here as "surinamensis" should grow to about 25-30cm eventually for a good sized male. I think 8 would be a good starting point for a 700L tank, an then thin them out as they reach breeding age. Depends what else you want to keep too and how busy you want the tank to look.

the-obstacle Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Ahhhh, now it's all making sense. It's going to be fairly lightly stocked otherwise - a few pandas, some cardinals and a couple of apistos. Thanks for the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Come have a look at my tank some time if you want to get a feel for how they look in a group at a larger size. Depending on who's breeding they go from being a fairly peaceful school to all-out war! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
