Gold Severum Bully

You're tank is to small for all those fish.

+1. Only the Rainbow Cichlids and Syno are suitable for a tank of that size.

I wouldn't want to put a rainbow cichlid in a 50 litre tank!

Where did you get the "50 litre tank" from ???

He said clearly that his tank is 48" x 15" x 18"

its over 200 litres, no the texas is reasonably chilled its the severum thats a bully.
yeah i know if they were fully grown it would be too small.
the water stats are perfect too.

its 212 Uk litres, and no the texas is reasonably chilled its the severum thats a bully.

however far as i can tell iam allowed 83 inches of fish overall and even if they all grow to a good size i make that 67 inches total.
had tinfoils before and they only got to about 6 "
The syno appears to have stopped growing.

Inches per fish dont count when it comes to cichlids, you have take into consideration that your texas will need that to itself when its older, if not it will kill everything in your tank.

The only reason Tinfoils would stunt growth at a mere 6" is through improper care/insufficiant tank size and its unfair on the fish....eventually their organs will grow to large for their body and they will fail and kill them.

Sorry i was confusing this topic with another topic.

Inches of fish is just a guide, it's not like you could put a 16" fish in there now because you've got 16" of fish left. I suggest you take you Severums, Texas and Tinfoils back to your LFS and get some smaller, more suitable fish.

What's a Pencil Barb? I've never heard of one, and apparently Google hasn't either. Could you provide a photo?

Agree with other posts, fish will get too big for the tank...altho if it is just interpreted as a grow out tank, and the assumption all the fish are 2"ish, strange severums are leading to the death of one another..

Inches of fish doesnt work with cichlids, as cichlids are much bulkier then e.g tetra's, therefore produce far more waste, "per inch".
