Tank mates for a gibby

colin · Post by **colin** » 01 Nov 2003, 23:39

I am moving my gibby from a community tank to his own tank. He is still only about 6" long and I am moving him into his own 30" x 15" x 15".( I know he will need a new one soon ).

He has always been with two hoplo's that are now about 3" long each. I dont want him to be all on his own so am thinking of moving the hoplos with him.

What do you think ?

If you can be more accurate with the type of fish you want people to suggest.
Tell us more about the tank and we can be even more accurate, i.e substrate, filtration method, flow rates.

I should have been clearer - the tank mates I am thinking of are my two hoplos. The filter is an eheim 2210 with a filtration of 550 l/h. Big for the tank but the gibby is pretty messy. The substrate is small gravel.

Hi !

That should not be a problem if you house the 2 Hoplo along with the Gibby and as you said your Gibby will need a really bigger tank soon...

Cheers
