89crwreck Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hi Guys, i currently have a 160l tank with fith the following fish 2 x Nimbochromus Venustus (4-5") 2 x Geophagus Brasiliensis (2.5-3") 1 x Large Common Pleco (7") A heap of baby BN's and 2 random black widow tetras :lol: Im Getting a new tank - Aqua One AR980t (245l) and want to stock it with 12 Demasoni and 5 or so Electric Yellows along with the current fish i have (will get rid of the Black Widows). Would this mix/qty be ok for my new tank? Any advice/opinions appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 The fish you have are already more than enough for the 245L tank IMO, the brasiliensis pair will both get close to a foot each and the common plec will get massive. Dems and yellows will go nicely in your new tank, just get rid of your current fish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89crwreck Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I love the look of dems and yellows together so i guess i'll be selling my current stock :lol: How many Yellows could i have with the 12 dems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 My choice would be selling the giraffes/geos once they outgrow your new tank too. Also really bad numbers of fish (2) for aggression etc as they mature.. Where in the country are you? I would go less yellows than dems because the yellows get bigger maybe 8 to 12 dems would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89crwreck Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hey Ryan im located in Friendly Feilding. Yea will be selling off the giraffes and geos and the pleco (hes a messy bugger!) at the moment they're living peacfully together. How many yellows would you recomend to keep with 12 dems?

ryanjury Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Ah sweet, did you get the giraffes off me When I was in bulls? As above around 8 yellows would be good with 12 dems it is no hard and fast thoug you can easily do more or less but I find less contrasts well with the dems.

89crwreck Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I got them through a friend who bought them privatly.. They are very healthy and colourful fish so possibly came from you indirectly cool, thanks for the info guys. Ryan, i see you sell and ship Dems, possibly yellows? will you have a small colony for me in about a months time? PM me if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
