Minimum tank size for 12 Striata?

Post by LeStat » Sun Nov 15, 2009 11:35 am

I am thinking of removing my Striata from my loach tank and putting them into their own 3' 180 litre tank, i'm not looking forward to trying to catch them though.

My question is, do you think the tank will be big enough for them and a couple of medium sized dithers?

Cheers.
250 Gallon, 8 Modesta, 2 Plec, 2 Catfish & a shoal of 17 Clown loach.

That ought to be plenty of room!
Yes, I agree they are not easy to catch. I had to remove everything from the Q-tank to catch them and move them when I bought them.
38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.

Happy fish keeping!
