WTB WC Bembas.

[geoff_tropheus]

I think it means...

Wild Tr(opheus) Bemba and not...

Wild T(ank) r(aised) Bemba

[rama]

Hmmm...

Not to start a debate but wild tr is wild tank raised. They are caught wild and place into holding tanks or vats for several reasons. SO yes they are wild caught but held in a tank for awhile.

If D say it's WC or WCTR...............How many should I get?

[peterp63]

as many as you can fit in your tank

[rama]

OK, how many in a 240g tank?

[ddaquaria]

OK, how in a 240g tank?

60 to 80...

Personally, I'm starting to prefer 15 per 60 gallons although I have 20 per 60 gallons. It starts to look a little crowded when you have fry + 60 in a 120.

By that math, 60 would be awesome.

[mgarrido]

60-80
Are you planning to move that beast inside the house?

????????,
Tr. for Tropheus, no maps...

[TaTeR ToT]

If the 240 is 8'x2'x2' then I say 100. A nice large round number.
Plus 100 wc bemba is absolutly pimpin'!
I really all comes down to how much you are willing to spend on filtration.
With 80+ adult Bemba I would say 3x 2262 4x maxijet 1200 with sureflow mods, and a proclear 300 wetdry with dual 1200gph overflows and a mag 24 pump.

[geoff_tropheus]

In a 8ft 240 with the required Tropheus Filtration, about 80 fish.

15-20 fish per 60 gallons is the standard for 6ft tanks.

8ft can have a little more than that.

I would do 80 and let the enjoy some breathing room.

[geoff_tropheus]

4ft tanks the standard is 12-14 fish in the first 55 gallons, then add 1 fish for every 6-7 gallons over the first 55.

[rama]

I was thinking more like 40.....

Well if you getting them from who I think you are I know they are collected and drop into vats/tanks for some growing out.

[geoff_tropheus]

I would get 40 then.

My personal belief is that 30-40 fish is really ideal colony size in aquaria anyway.

80 tropheus would fit in your 8ft 240 with proper filtration.

[rama]

How much filtration i need?

I have 1 eheim 2080, 1 aga Megaflow 4 Wet/Dry Sump Biological Filter with eheim 1262 pump, and for circulation 1 K4, 1 eheim 1250.

[geoff_tropheus]

your good filtration wise.

Flow wise I would ditch the 1250 eheim pump for another K4 or ecco mod maxjet
