i have a 125 and i had 3 caribes in there i just lost one. i was thinking of getting 4 more but the more i think of it i might just get 1 and keep three in there and see if it translates into larger fish

well they say that competition for food makes them grow quicker.dont know if thats true.and with less fish there will be less hormones in the water that will make them grow quicker

yeah but like people have said in my rip thread fish r so hard to take when they die. one second they r fine and the next they r upside down dead. it would be easier to take if they would get hit by a car or something

Well I have always Understocked my tanks , and My fish grow like weeds ..But this is only in my tank and I cant speak for others ...
For about 2 years I had 5 Pygos , ranging from 9 inch to 13 inch ...in a 135 gallon
they have since been moved to their new 210 gallon , Now im really understocking it :laugh:
