3FT Tanga tank??
Going to restart the hobbies again, with a 3x1.5x1.5 tank due to space constraint.
Occupants will be 1 x 6" Mpimbwe, 2x 2" burundi, 2 Yellow Altos and 2 Julies, will it be ok? |

The Burundis & Mpimbwe will outgrow your tank when they reach full adult.

Never have luck with the fronts reaching adult size, the other 2 times I tried keeping fonts in a 5Ft tank, after 2 years all died one by one at about 7".
The 6" mpimbwe is the last survivor from the 2nd batch. Now residing in a 2ft tank. |

The first batch lost after water change, did the usual of adding anti chlorine and 20% water change. Then every 2-3 days lost 1 fish. Suspect the water parameters from the HDB supply. Using C0 substrate to harden water and keeping 8 burundi (5 inch), 2 Mpimbwe(5-6inch), 3 Tanzanite (6-7 inches). Using 2 canister filter. Kept for a year plus. The second batch, same set up, also the same thing, 2-3 days lost 1 fish until almost the whole tank wipe out. Keeping 9 Mpimbwe. 5-7 inches for a year. Stopped the hobby and transfer the last survivor to a 2ft tank as the 5ft tank leak. Now a year later, itch to start again, recently bought two 2" burundi to add to the 2X1.5X2 tank with the 5" Mpimbwe, with C0 coral chips and using a Eheim internal filter. |
