[Slough Shark]

I only have one question- How many Golden Panchax Killies can I keep together in a 25 Gal tank?

Heres the plan so far:

Krishna River (India) Biotope (25 Gal):
_ Golden Panchax Killifish
3 Zebra Loaches

Thanks
-Taylor

Do you have a scientific name for the actual Killifish you want to keep?

I have done a web search and most references I see for Golden Panchax Killies are from the sychelles or Africa, not India (I could be wrong on this):

I also found this

Sorry, I suppose I should have posted the Scientific name: Aplocheilus lineatus

Its quite a nice fish, very different from the two that your search turned up.

Not many from what I can see, so you could be down to one pair:

Ya, I'm going to bump it up to a trio I think, this should be a fine Biotope, thanks for the advice!!!!
