Livebearer, Quick Question?

[JohnRossDele]

Hi all,
How many platys, mollies & sowrdtails will fit in my 240 ltr in my signature

 

[helterskelter]

start with a pair of each and in 6 months it will be full

Are you thinking of re-homing all of the fish currently in the 240 then? If so, you could have quite a few, but will soon become over-run with babies. If it's with the fish currently in the tank then 0, as they will either be eaten or poisoned within a day.

im taking the oscar back to the lfs also u may think it but the tank isn't anywere near crowded!!

 

[Curiosity101]

Not right now this very second...but as they grow the filter will not be able to cope with the levels of ammonia that need breaking down. Ammonia will build up, you will continue to bury your head in the sand, and then your fish will begin to die from ammonia poisoning. FACT.

ive got two more tanks in my sig so incease it gets over crowded i can put them in there!!

 

[Curiosity101]

Only the danios and the corys will fit in your smaller tanks. And they will not be the ones ultimately causing the problems. You know, considering all the advice you've been given on other topics your ignorance astounds me

Your fish will soon overcrowd that tank, unless you plan to rehome a LOT of fish.
You also have to remember those species' breeding tendencies.
