[DgKo0]

hi guy i just wonder how many yellow lab i can keep in a 75g tank ?

[peterp63]

Depends on what kind of filtration you have?

[DgKo0]

i have 2 filter with total around 850gph

[peterp63]

What type of filters? Do they hang on the back of your aquarium (HOB)? Are they canister filters?

[DgKo0]

that r 2 HOB filter . im also had canister filters too but not in use cause HOB is way ezer to clear up lol

[geoff_tropheus]

25 with the about 10:1 turnover you got, and weekly waterchange of 50%or bi-weekly 75%

[DgKo0]

also i have about 150 lbs of rock just wonder is that ok if i put all of them in the tank without break it bottom

also depends on size.

if you get them small you can keep a lot more fishes.

labs are super hardy fishes and can take some bad water.

You could probably fill the tank with concrete and not have it break on you.

or use egg crates.

i had a 75g tank with lab and mangano with two Aquaclear 110, and one power head 1200pgh. about 100lb of rock. There were about 50 labs and 20 manganos in there since they bred like crazy with a lot of hiding places like that . here is pics when it was running.( now it become tropheus fry tank after the FOTAS auction).

it will be fine. Get an egg crate(light diffuser) from home depot if you are worried, but t should be fine
