Tank size for pair of Hypancistrus?

Post by Orinocensis1 »

Hey everyone I was curious on what size tank everyone had success with the most with a breeding pair of Hypancistrus adults? I have some pairs in their own 20g tank (24 1/2"x12 1/2"x16 3/4"). Would a 15g (24"x12"x12") tank be ok as well? Thanks in advance

Same footprint, should be fine. I have a group of 5 L201s in a 15 gallon that breed
