Parrot Fish Tank Size

[malc]

hi,
could anyone help me with this,
i have a wall mounted aquarium which holds 60 ltrs the size is 1050mm or 41.25" wide x 370mm or 14.5" high x 130mm or 5" depth
i was hoping to have two that grow to max 6"? but obviously would not want to if this is not large enough?
thanks in advance
Malc

If your talking about blood parrot cichlids then I think they grow quite large, if I had a really long but shallow tank like that I'd be really tempted to do a white cloud minnow biotope, or another form of small active schooling fish

In a word, no. The main issue is the 5" depth-leaving the other tank dimensions the same you'd need a depth of 15"+ as a bear minimum for Parrots (or any other similar sized fish).
