How many geos in a 55g?

[flickafish]

How many of the Geophagus species could I reasonably fit in a 55g? I currently have 3 juvenile Geo. jurupari, and I've like to add a couple of Geo. "Red Head Tapajos" to the tank. Is this feasible, considering their adult size? It's a well-established tank with lots of large driftwood, rocks, and plants for hiding. There's some little community fish in there, but they could be moved elsewhere if need be. Thanks!

i just read on another site that the red heads get 10 inchs so i would think no way in a 55.

coming from the guy who has 2 pictus cats in his tank..
pretty sure they get to about 10 inches last time i checked.

yeah should be fine if agression lets you, but... be prepared to move 1 or 2 fish once they grow..

well... i think 2 5 inch catfish is a little diff than 2 10 inch fish imo of course.
