How many in a 528l / 140 gallon tank?

[BramJ]

I know these posts come around more often, but the size of the tanks in those posts is usually a lot smaller then what I am getting. So, here is another thread

The tank I am getting is 160 x 60 x 60 cm (5.2 x 2 x 2 ft), so quite a large ground area, also the filter is going to be a large biological filter (120x40x40cm), so that shouldn't be a problem either

I've read about a "10 gallon per axo" which would result in about 14 axo's, which seems quite a lot... and the "1 ft per axo", which results in 5 which seems to be a bit low... (or is this rule for square ft? which would result in 10?)

Initially I am getting 5 axo's (2.5x wild and 2.5x leucistic ) but adding a bit more color later on would be nice :happy:

so, how many would you recommend for this tank?

I am new here, but should expect reply related to count of larvae you can take care off
I am preparing new 160l tank for my 1st axies.

I have a 6x2x2 tank with eight in and wouldn't add any more.
As you are getting five to start off with, see how they all get on first. They make a lot of mess, so keeping up with spot cleaning the tank and water quality will be a lot easier.
Add some plants to the tank for colour Live ones will help with the water quality too

Thanks for you response
7-8 does seem like a nice number eventually

It's one per square foot plus one foot for decorations generally.
