just curious, but how many adult central american cichlids can 220 gallons hold?
right now i have a tiger oscar, gold severum, convict, firemouth, they are all under 3 inches. im adding an electric blue (2") jack dempsey this week
now in the future i would like to add a red texas cichlid and a black belt cichlid, and maybe a flower horn or a red parrot if the flower horn is too nasty.
so this will bring the total of 7 or 8 fish estimating about 8-12 inches each at adult hood....will i need bigger than 220 gallons?
