yeah def sub adult bud, that is a bit pricey, i paid that for fish over 6 inches SL, it's a shame they was'nt youngsters, they're what i call in yer face fish.

What size tank do they need?

good job. I'm glad you didn't break up the group.

dunno what size they need to be honest they only grow to about 5inches apparently but if a 450litre aint enough then they need a swimming pool lol, they are fantastic so bold its unreal they come right out in the open just waiting for my cam to recharge and ill get some fantastic shots of them, they seem almost stressless so im very happy indeed...

Think I could fit a couple in a 36" x 12" x 16" 30 gallon tank?

mickthefish · Post by **mickthefish** » Sat Nov 08, 2008 12:14 pm

i think that all depends on how many fish are in there already, plus is that US galls or Imperial gallons.

No fish, I just got the tank and its US gallons. Think it'll work?

as long as you don't put too many fish with them i'd say yes.
