I've read the articles on CC and it's clear about the minimum sized tank needed. But I can't find any formula for housing more than two fire sals in a tank (adult size that is).

I know you need a minimum of 45x30x35 for a pair, with 60x30x35 prefered. Well, that's what's written on the CC article and it seems to agree with most of what I've read. But how much extra space would you be wanting for a third or fourth sal? Is the some useful formula? Like a minimum space for two + Xcm more per extra sal?

Part of the reason is that I'm picking up a 90x30x30 tank tomorrow, and I was wondering how many could/should be kept in that?

Thanks.
 
Yeah, LWH, all dimensions in cm.

Thanks, I was thinking 3 would make sense, but you never know. Though I wouldn't agree with 15cmW per sal, sure they're bendy, but they grow over 15cm often.
