Big Enough Tank For Lamp Eyes?

[azzaknight]

hello all, ive got a 60L tank which i will be setting up again soon, was planing on having 6-7 corys, 2 khuli loaches, cherry shrimp and 10+ lamp eyes.

with these other fish is 60L enough space? please let me know on other suggestions!

thank you.

60 L...thats about roughly about 15 gallons..corys and loaches mostly swim at the bottom..so no problem..and i am not sure about 10 + lamp eyes.. I had 10 lamp eyes in my 300 L ..but had to trade it in because it ate all my neon tetras..;/ ... I'd say go with like 5 lamp eye..they love swimming everywhere.. just my opinion

I don't think lampeyes are suitable for a 60l; they grow bigger than most people realise (three inches or so) and are quite active.

There are a number of species that have the common name 'lampeye', do check which one you have available to buy. I got Norman's Lampeye (Poropanchax normani) which grows to 4-5cm tops and I currently breed them in 20L tank!

The Norman Lampeyes are excellent. Very pretty fish
