150g troph stock maximum

[Ogrodii]

What do you think is the the absolute most tropheus you can put in a 6ft 150g

?

[mistahoo]

The question "how many ____ can I put in a __g tank" has been brought up so many times now. How ever many you want... The "maximum" you could put would be enough trophs so that you can't see empty space anymore.

[Ogrodii]

so i can do 75 trophs

[New_Cichlid11]

ogrodii man you really gotta read more before asking this question and use the search option please. You can put as many as you want with the PROPER filtration i have over 80 trophs in my 175 no problems

[cu0ngsayz]

A lot has to do with "how many ____ I can put in a ___g tank".

- bio load
- can the filter handle the load
- how big is the fish
- how much swim room
- etc etc.

Re: 150g troph stock maximum

Filtration

Bioload

Ect is not an issue

The Tropheus are all adult size

The only issue is swimming space

[New_Cichlid11]

Then do it, get the fish and put them in the tank and see what happens. I say this with large quantity of fish water movement is a must. Not just from filters but from powerheads, big powerheads

Etc etc is for you to find out. I was only listing a few to let you get an idea

150g troph stock maximum

What do you have for filtration? Water movement? Water change schedule? What size trophs, ratio, variant?
Btw I love overstocked tanks!

[AhKwaB]

IMHO, if you have to ask, you're probably under stocked.

[Ogrodii]

x2 Eheim 2260's

x2 1400 Hydors for movement/ maybe looking to move to 1 mp40 when i up the stock

On water changes i do 4-7 days depends but no longer then 7 days

For stock i have 21 Dubs looking to add 20 more maybe and another variant.. for
the size there all around 4.5'' you think its possible to keep 3 variants without cross breed

[Victorp]

Research to see if they will crossbreed I reccomend trips that are smaller then 4" but then again that's my opinion

Yes it is possible. Dubs, any brichardi and any moorii variant. I wouldn't overstock a tank without a wet/dry. I would not recommend an overstocked tank without a wet/dry for their amazing capabilities of oxygenate the water and bio-filtration. For flow I will go with bigger power heads like a pair of magnum 6. 75-90% of weekly wc is good since trophs love clean water.
