How Many Neolamprologus Multifasciatus?

[The young one]

Ello, I will soon be getting an aqua one horizon 60 tank, it is 60l, 60x36x32.

How many multies would I be able to keep in that tank?

Thanks
Joe

Hiya , hope I can help , with Multis you need lots of shells , they don't have large territories , usually a few inches each , it's really down to the footprint of your tank , maybe put in less than you originally want as to allow for breeding and the new guys can establish themselves ...
Footprint in my own tank is 80cm x 30cm , I only plan 6 multis to begin with, no one on this forum has gave me a roasting for suggesting this so i'm hoping that this amount is ok.....
The good thing is they can be kept in smaller tanks so I don't see that being an issue for you....
Hopefully one of the more experienced guys/gals will be along soon , not wanting to give you the wrong advice....
