How many L270 or L201

Post by gimmeplec5 »

Hi
I am just about to purchase another tank,125litres approx. I would like to stock with (once the tank is matured of course)either L270 or L201 Hypancistrus.I would like a group of 5 of either.Would this size tank be large enough for 5? i hope so, as i know they are only the small size when fully mature.

I would try it. Seems like enough room to me. As they become easy to sex you might want to remove any surplus males if that's how it ends up.
