Maybe, but i dont think so. All of them are under 2" and wont get any bigger then that. Ofcourse someone will post telling me that im overstocked. I've kept various picos before, so Im fine with the three fish in there. I wouldnt recommend it to someone new. I stay up on my topoffs and weekly WC. Link to comment

Jamo Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I think you could do with a few hermits to trim the greenery back a bit, other than that though the tank is looking awesome! Link to comment
