2.5ft tank

[Eniram]

Hey guys how many fishes can i keep in a 2.5ft tank??

[mhermie]

depend on what u wan to keep. fish only or reef tank.

[Eniram]

well how about a bit of both

[tineng]

i think there is not good rules as to how many fish to keep as the dynamics of Marine fish are very very complex (interesting)....you will likely to be more concern with the compatibilty of the fishes as well as their individual characters.... before getting your fishes do research in the fish.....never buy on impulse....i've learn my lessons the hard way....

hi, i also have a 2.5 feet tank.i currently keeps tens fishes.(a bit overstocked).IMO, the number of fishes u keep is directly related to how well your tank filtration is.jus my 2cts.BTW, are you using a sump?

[zarkon]

dunno leh.. someone told that space is also important for fishy.... else stress up if over crowded ... filter system, guess it has to do with balancing the bio-load ... I think

[Kalib]

How many fishes can you have ultimately depends on what fish your keeping. Nobody can really help answer this question unless you are very certain of what you want at this point in time. In general, IMO probably around 5-6fishes(that will not grow beyond 4" in size) would be a very comfortable bioload, allowing for plenty of swimming space.

Remember, tank dimensions especially length and width play a big part in deciding what fishes you can have.

[Eniram]

[FuEl]

Skip the maroon clownfish and the yellow tang and your tank will not have any bullies.
