I wanted to know how big would they get? I saw 2 inches of exodon for sell in my lfs.

How many I can add in my 75 gallon tank with a 7" Oscar and a 3" Convict.

Would Exodons attack the Oscar or the Oscar attack the exodons??

I really dont know how aggressive are the exodons.

Hope some people can give me some info about them.

I've 4 exos with my cichlids in my 266g. They chase each other from time to time and don't pick on anything else. You can put 6 exos in your 75g. I wouldn't put too many in there because your Oscar will get huge. Your oscar will try to catch the exos but they're way too fast.

How big are your exodons now??

The one I saw are like 2 inches for sell, I am worry that my 7" Oscar would eat them.

Mine are 2-2 1/2" and don't worry, those exos are very fast and your osar will not catch them. You can get a couple and try it out.

With piranhas, it's just matter of time.

some sites I read said that it can grow to 7 inches.

Would that take a long time??

Does anyone really have kept exdons up to 7 inches before??

 

[Avatar~God]

well i saw some where on this sight before that they grow very slowly.

 

[rchan11]

I've never seen one over 3". In captivity, it might get to 4", that's about it.

i had some at my work that were 5 in. the guy said he had them for a really long time.

From the site I have read, they said exodons do better in a school of 12.

If less than 12, they will fight to death.

Anyone expereince the fighting in a small group of exodons??

 

[rchan11]

As I have stated, I've 4 and are relatively peaceful. As long as they have enough room to roam, they'll be fine. Observe their behavior at petstore and make your own decision.

 

[PCooper]

ok
thx for all the info and advice

 

[Fido]

i have 8. They are cool. I wish they would grow faster though. They love bloodworms. Frezies are cool, but low carnage.

by the way, that 12 thing is bullshit. Oh and they have a short lifespan..

my oscars have eaten the exodons I had.
