I have a standard 29 gallon tank, and a 75 gallon tank, which is on it's way to being heavily planted, and high tech. For now, I want to get 5 Juveniles (probably 2.5") for my barebottom tank. Is this big enough until they hit the 5" mark? Or when would it be good to move them to that 75 gallon?

Agree on the 4" mark.I think I got to 4.5"on around 12 in a 75 bb and then moved them into a 135.72526
