Bro you can roughly gage .. My last time tank only 5x2x2 ... Yours is around 2 times my tank ... 15 might look a bit cramp but nice sure ... Bioload wise don't worry too much ....

8 reds also must tan .... 10 reds also must tan , as well go for 15 pcs

Hi bro,

I am keeping 6 aro (2 red 4 XB) in my 5x2.5x2x5 and they have ample space, so i guess with ur tank dimensions, imo should be looking at 12 or more =)

Hi Bro stanleytheng.

I am currently keeping 6 Arowanas in a 6 x 3 x 3 & they look to be swimming freely around the tank. I guess I have to start with 10 Reds & see how it goes.. if still fine.. get more,.. but 1 fish at a time..
After that, my head will be completely bald from big hole in my pocket..

Cheers mate..!!

Hi Bro.
50 Aros... phew, the cost of food for them alone will kill me.. not to mention where to house them when all 50 grow to 20"-24"..

Cheers mate..!!

If financial resources allows, go for the biggest tank possible

Hi,

My experience with some comm tanks is once you achieved a somewhat stable comm, it is very risky to add in additional fishes 1 by 1. You will risk upsetting the entire established hierarchy in the tank. Easier to start with a slightly larger number and downsize a little bit later.
The only thing is where to put those aros that you have taken out from the main comm later.

Have fun :)
