How many trophs can a 40 gal hold?

[eklikewhoa]

You know... if you search back far enough most tropheus keepers kept the true old school gieant wildcaughts in 50-55g tanks with ZERO problems as far as growth or breeding. Also when there was little problem running these tanks on mere sponge filters.

Somehow, somewhere big tanks and massive filtration came into play and now it seems there's no other way. If anything large tanks are stunting the growth cause I rarely see the monsters like the past

They're also not shipping giant WC Trophs to this side of the pond anymore like they used to from what I see. And most ppl don't feed them properly for maximum growth either.

I wanna make a tropheus the size of a neon tetra
Lol!!!

[SunnyHouTX]

They already do man. You're behind the times.

so sad!!! I setup my tank, stocked it and got called offshore. Didn't even to get to watch them for over a day. Won't see them for another month!!! Hopefully they are alive! i'll post a pic of the tank before i left.

You need at least 20.

I'll have 6 more for you by the time you come back.

Thanks Thai! hey I got a HOB filter that was given to me when i got the tank. Should i put it to use along with the eheim 2073 and sponge filter that is already running?

[myjohnson]

No, HOB filters are for noobs.

Do you want to be a noob?

Get a wet/dry son.

[ibitegirls]

=( no i dont wanna be a noob! What's all the equipment i'll be needing for the wet/dry? And is it simple enough for the old man to care for it while im gone?

[myjohnson]

Nahhhh, it's really hard and complex.

You should really just add the HOB filter on there.

well that just sucks!!!! well with the equipment placement

i would personally have the heater close to the substrate hidden behind the drift wood

the spray bar i would put it on the left side of the tank spraying towards the left

the intake id chop it make it shorter and have it where the koralia is in the corner

paint both of them to match the BG.
