My Eyes are bigger than my tankspace - Help??

[peterp63]

Troph-masters,

I'm in a bind... in a good way. Currently, my tanks are set up as follow:

300g - 10 petro moshi
215g - 23 famula chimba and 48 tropheus m'toto (no rock scape)
125g (yes, that one) - ??? setting up tonight
75g - 37 annectens (1-3")

I have between 3 and 6 red fin longola coming that are supposed to be pretty big.

Where would you stick everyone??

Here's what I'm thinking:
300g - 10 moshi and 6 longola
215 - 23 famula chimba
125 - 48 m'toto
75 - annectens (1-3")

My original goal was to keep the m'toto with the famula bc the yellows compliment each other nicely, but I'm not sure if that's a great idea if I want to have successful spawns with both groups. I may do this once the annectens outgrow the 75 gallon, but in the meantime what does everyone think???

THANKS!!!!

Peter -- I would put the m'toto in the 125, and then setup the Moshi and Longola together. If you end up with a problem between the Moshi and Longola I would switch the Moshi and Famula

So you are looking like this

300g -- 23 Famula Chimba & 6 Longola
215g -- 10 Moshi
125g -- 48 m'toto
75g -- annectens

You other options is when everyone is grown out.

300g -- 48 m'toto & 37 annectens
215g -- 23 Famula Chimba & 6 Longola
125g -- 10 Moshi

Just my thoughts..

For best breeding chances I agree with this:

300g - 10 moshi and 6 longola
215 - 23 famula chimba
125 - 48 m'toto
75 - annectens (1-3")

But annectens get big dude. Some get bigger than dubs. You are going to have to kill off some males.

Or keep the annectens in the 125 when they full grown.

and kill off some male mtoto to keep like 20-25 in the 75g.

But as of now I would do what you are planning on.

Disclaimer, I'm no expert but I'm sure geoff will be here to help shortly.

I was wondering who had bought the 125.

Here's what I'm thinking:
300g - 10 moshi and 6 longola
215 - 23 famula chimba (sell off)
125 - 48 m'toto (moved to 215)
75 - annectens (1-3") (Moved to 125)

My original goal was to keep the m'toto with the famula bc the yellows compliment each other nicely, but I'm not sure if that's a great idea if I want to have successful spawns with both groups. I may do this once the annectens outgrow the 75 gallon, but in the meantime what does everyone think???

I wouldn't put the petros in anything less than the 300.

300g = 10 Moshi, 6 Longola, and 23 Famula's

215 = Culled Males from Above and your Annectens or Mtoto

125 = Mtoto or Annectens

75 = upgrade to 120 or sell some furniture and get another 215 gallon
