New 90g Pleco Tank

Post by Greg Curtis »

I'm still in the planning stages of building my 90g with 7 or 8 plecos no bigger than 6-7" long. I want to put a school of regular sized Corys in it also. How many would you suggest would be a safe amount without overcrowding the tank. I filter with a Marineland C360 and an Emperor 400.

I'd take it easy and add say half a dozen and see how it goes - there are so many different factors that affect the water quality and consequently how many fishes you can keep in a tank - some of those factors are feeding (quantity and frequency), water changes (amount, frequency and actual quality of the new water), filtration system, and actual fishes.

Thanks Mats, I'll try 6 corys and see how it works out.
