75 Gallon

[sic0198]

I'm gonna upgrade soon.

My stock list

2 Clown Loaches
4 Bala Sharks
1 Black Ghost Knife
1 Krib Cichlid

Will a 75 gallon do for these?

 

[Gankutsuou]

no. It'd probably take about a 175 or 180 for the balas eventually when they reach a foot+ each.

the clowns around 100-120.

the BGK probably around 80-90+

Somehow I knew you were gonna say that...Why would so much space be needed?

How long will it take for 'em to outgrow it?

I hope they can make due in it, as this will be the giggest one I can get.

Those fish I have listed, are they good and hardy. Is it common for 'em to become full grown?

Becuase there fish grow hudge and need room to swim and be happy.

The balas will be stunted and probably die because of it..

The ghost knife should be fine.. as should the kribensis.

Oh really??? Didn't know that.

the clowns will take a long time to outgrow that, and 90 gallons is min for fully grown ones. The krib will love it, but the rest are a no, the balas really shouldn't be in there at all.

If you want some botias such as the clown loach I would go with one of many in the links below as they don't grow nearly as large.

Also, if you're really set on sharks get something that stays a bit smaller such as one of these (you can only keep 1 though as they are very territorial)

If you do plan on keeping some of the above fish I wouldn't suggest keeping them with the kribs as the kribs could get bullied. I would go with something a bit larger and more aggressive that would be able to hold it's own
