SAP 20g Long

Post by Mr._Fishy »

I have a 20g long setup that was going to be a T. suvattii tank, but the shop that said they had them actually had T. palambang. The research I did is telling me that a 20 long is pushing it for a palambang. South American Puffers are readily available. How many could I have in a 20 long? It is fairly heavily planted with driftwood and has an Ehiem 2213 filter.

Thank you, that did help. I take it that I could have maybe 2 in my tank?

If you do 2 make sure to have much more filtration then you would normally need.

I have an Eheim 2213, will this be enough filtration?

sounds good to me. I don't have experience with this filter but it has a maximum pump performance of 116 gph. turning over your tank almost 6 times/hour. I think this is enough.

anybody else?
