Capacity question

[chewy7]

Hi,
would i be able to keep 11 small discus in a 3ftX2ftX2ft tank happily, would this tank hinder there growth? it would be a 324L tank. and also be bare bottumn, no driftwood or anything.

Thanks
Shane

They will go in a 4X2x2, confirmed. I have them in a 6X2X2 at the moment which is setup for a Marine tank, but running as freshwater for the past few years. So i was thinking about getting a 4X2x2 and putting the discus in that. would 11 Discus grow properly in a 4x2x2?

Thanks
Shane.

If you go by the Rule of 10Gallons Per Adult then 324 liters equates to 71 Gallons approx therefore you would only have enough room for 7 discus .. However it all depends on what water change regeime you have and what your filtration system is going to be ... if they are only juveniles then yes you can comfortably store keep them in this set up and then move to a bigger tank as time dictates ....

it will be 430L. so i should be fine, it will be run using a 1800Litre per hour canister filter,

Thanks
