What Is An Appropriate Tank Size For A Shoal Of 4 Pim Pictus?

[nurglespuss]

I was considering purchasing the single Pim Pictus I have seen at my local aqautic shop over the past year.

However, after a bit more research, i find that they need to shoal, and as such Might be better of in a tank of their own...

Would a 24" be big enough? or a 36"?

Thanks all!

How wide is the tank(s)?

It seems entirely random as to how gregarious P. pictus are. Some people say they see theirs swim in groups, wheras others (including mine and at least a couple of other people) only interact to argue over a resting spot.

IME they are very active swimmers and I wouldn't put them in anything smaller than a 4 ft.

Righto thanks all!

I shall begin planning
