Hey man,
in the mean time you can come see my trophs:)

[mark razmandi]

ok well if i cannot properly house them then im not going to get them....that would be a shame....so until i can get another 75g or larger then im just going to have to wait.... UGH!! i guess i need to go tank shopping, craigslist, here i come

[geoff_tropheus]

I would keep them in the 40 till they are all about 2-2.5, then put them in the 90.

From spit size (0.75"), they should reach 2.5 in less than 5 months** 1cm/month is the published growth rate of Tropheus

[mark razmandi]

well i really wanted to grow out some fry in that tank....how long could i grow them out for in that tank? i could easily pop them in my 90g when they grow out of the 40g

Mark,

I am only telling you from experience, that 6 months will be toon long for 20 guys in a 40 breeder, you'll end up regretting it.

See Mark? These guys decide when you get to have trophs. Not you!
I told you trophs are equipped with mind control properties. Now you guys believe me. Now, if I can just stop my climbing perch from giving me subliminal messages.

Mark, first off, you made the right choice in getting the best FN fishes out there man. Secondly, I think the most important part is that you get the fish you want about 15-20 of them, and watch them grow. You will very very quickly outgrow that 40 breeder, and your fishes could be stunted.

You dont want that, so I would wait on 2 things.

When you got time and space for a 75 gallon, and the 20 fishes you want. Once you got them, they are yours. Your responsible for them.

You know Nick, how are those Sheepheads doing?
