Amount of pictus

Post by Fishphibian »

Hello, I was wondering how many pictus I could/should have in a 4 foot 80 gallon aquarium. I am planning to have a few fairly large plecos (mabey only one), a few festivum, possible a couple hoplos if I can ever find them, and possibly some sort of schooling mid-dweller if I can find one that a pictus will not be able to eat. Thank you. ^_^

I would think 4 pictus would be fine.

4 feet = 1.22 metre (approx)

Thank you, no, I have not ever had pictus before, they have always been a fish I have wanted though. Same with hoplos, although I have never seen them for sale here.
