10 adult wilds in a 65gallon?

[agave60]

Would anyone keep 10 wilds in a 65gallon (36x18x24)? I currently do daily 50% water changes and could increase to 75%. I feel as if this is somewhat of a stupid question, but I need to repair the 55gallon four of these guys live in and only have the 65gallon to transfer them to. The 65 is currently stocked with 6 wilds.

Thanks,
Carlos

I've keep 6 small adult wilds in a 65 added a 7th larger wild and that really seem to push the tank well to it's limits even with regular wc's.IMO as a general rule of thumb I would figure on a least 10 gallons per adult fish.

You may get away with it for a short period of time but it's likely to really stress your fish out.

Good luck, Dirk

I agree with Dirk. I wouldn't consider it for the long term but if it's a temporary thing until you get your other tank fixed they should be fine.

Thanks guys, you've confirmed my thoughts.
