gemelee Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I have a 154 x 30 x 30 cm tank, I was planning on keeping electric yellows. I understand that the tank is a bit smaller than the recommended 55gallon but because of the length which is longer than a standard 55 I guess that it should be ok. How many electric yellows would you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanityChelle Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Try use this: http://www.aqadvisor.com/AqAdvisor.php? ... AddFilter& Just put in your level of filtration, and add electric yellows until you get 100% stocking. That'll give you a pretty good idea of what numbers you'll be looking at.

Bananalobster Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Wow what a handy site! I would say in a tank that size you could get away with 10-15 electric yellows, buying them young and weeding out extra males so that when they are adults you might end up with 8 or so adult fish? I have 9 in with 6 Trewavasae (about to be 3 when I take out the extra males) and 20 juvie demasoni in a 120Lx45Wx55H to give you an idea. this number will be reduced when I take extra males out as they get older. I would say that number of yellows would be a safe bet in a tank your size, the extra length should give them enough room to get away from any bullies.

gemelee Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Thanks aqadvisor reckons 15 of them is 104% so I might start with 15 juvies and take out the extra males if need be as bananalobster suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
