Pretty sure that needs to be in the Lounge part of the forum.

Mark, first off, you made the right choice in getting the best FN fishes out there man. Secondly, I think the most important part is that you get the fish you want about 15-20 of them, and watch them grow. You will very very quickly outgrow that 40 breeder, and your fishes could be stunted.

You dont want that, so I would wait on 2 things.

When you got time and space for a 75 gallon, and the 20 fishes you want. Once you got them, they are yours. Your responsible for them.

You know Nick, how are those Sheepheads doing?

See Mark? These guys decide when you get to have trophs. Not you!
I told you trophs are equipped with mind control properties. Now you guys believe me. Now, if I can just stop my climbing perch from giving me subliminal messages.

Mark,

I am only telling you from experience, that 6 months will be toon long for 20 guys in a 40 breeder, you'll end up regretting it.

[mark razmandi]

well i really wanted to grow out some fry in that tank....how long could i grow them out for in that tank? i could easily pop them in my 90g when they grow out of the 40g

[geoff_tropheus]

I would keep them in the 40 till they are all about 2-2.5, then put them in the 90.

From spit size (0.75"), they should reach 2.5 in less than 5 months** 1cm/month is the published growth rate of Tropheus

[mark razmandi]

ok well if i cannot properly house them then im not going to get them....that would be a shame....so until i can get another 75g or larger then im just going to have to wait.... UGH!! i guess i need to go tank shopping, craigslist, here i come

[TaTeR ToT]

Hey man,
in the mean time you can come see my trophs:)
