How many Syno Multis?

Post by stallion81 »

I own 5 Multis currently in a 55 (to go to my 120 this weekend). They will reside with 12-15 c*****ds and possibly my Royal Pl*co. Is this a good number or should I up it. And if so how many and when to add? C*****ds will be about 50-60 inches full grown(most juvies now). Multis are 2@4" and 3@2-3". Only locally available Multis are bout 2". So will 5 suffice or would 1 or 2 more have advantages? and if so ,what? Tank is filtered at least 10 times over. Oh and no "plans" on breeding unless the oppertunity presents itself(C*****ds are ELs,Acies,and Ngaras=dont believe to be good hosts).

I think based on your tanks occupants 5 multi's are just right, especially if you are not interested in breeding.

5 should be a nice group. Just depends if you want more catfish, or more cichlids.

Thanks for the replies. Wow what a difference. Put the Synos in the 120 bout 2 hours ago. They are everywhere. Unreal compared to the 55. I'm thinkin 5 will do just fine. Thanks again.
