70 BN pleco fry in a 29?

Post by traco »

I have approximately 70+ calico BN pleco fry in a bare bottom 29 gallon, sponge filter. They are roughly 1 1/4" in size, and are 1 1/2 months. When should I be moving them to a larger tank and what size tank would be a good size for them, 33 gallon, 55 gallon? I am doing daily water changes, feed algae wafers, fresh zucchini and cucumber.

Thanks in advance for your help/comments.

They are pretty "tolerant", so if you do daily water changes, that should be fine for some time. As to "where to place them next", the bigger the better [saves another move].
