carduz Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I am setting up a new tanks 5ft x 2ft x 2ft it has about 50kg crushed white marbles stone for the base, 2 small piece of driftwood with anubias on it, and couple of rocks at the moment I am cycling the tank with my new canister old canister and otto fish in it. the question is how much adult electric yellow that i can fit in there to make a colony to breed? 30-50? Is there any fish that i can combine with these fish without reducing the amount of E yellow that i can occupy, such as loach, cory, etc...? does electric yellow like a high current water? I have 2 canister at 2500lph should I use both of them or just 1? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 If you want a colony of 30-50 electric yellows then I guess you will need to have about 30-50 fish in there I would run both canisters if you have them available to use. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosco Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I keep my breeding colonies of Yellows with colonies of Maingano, C afra "cobue" and A Beanschi "Nkhomo reef" in a 6x2(w)x18(H). It is a similar water volume and I have around 50 fish in there. The peacocks don't breed they are just pretty. The others do breed nicely together. In saying that I am going to split the tank into 2 sections and thus split the colonies in to 2. Probably Yellows and maingano and the other peacocks and afra's. cheers rosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
