are they overcrowded in a 75 gallon tank?
i have 2 huge driftwoods inthere right now..
i might have to get rid of some tank so ...
they'll be going into my 75 gallon anubias tank..
will thebio load be too much?
or will a 75 gallon be good for them?
i might transfer them to a 85 gallon tank.. but have to sell and rearrange my tanks 1st

They should be fine as long as regular water changes are carried out. I am trying to growout 12 zebra plecos in a 65 gallon and have had good growth from them so far. They are 1.5 inches at a year and three months old. Hoping they will be ready to spawn sometime next year. Good luck with the BN.

I have 4 mature BN in my 65g with about 20 young angles. My BN females (3 of them in the same tube) just layed eggs yesterday and Dad is protecting the clutch till I move him to his own tank for them to hatch in
Once you can tell males from females, you may want to put only 1 male in a tank with some females if you plan to breed them. The males tend to fight and forget about the ladies if there is more than 1 male in a tank.

I keep 15 females and 5 males in my Bristle nose tanks. 300 liters, what ever that is in US or Imp gallons (somewhere between 70 and 100).
With adequate breeding sites these tanks are wall to wall fish. Take out two to three hundred juvie B/N at a time.
