How Many Boesemani Rainbowfish in a 125-Gallon Tank?

In a 125-gallon tank you can comfortably keep about 6–21 Boesemani Rainbowfish. As a schooling species, never keep fewer than 6.

Why

Stocking is driven by adult size and waste output, not just fish count. Boesemani Rainbowfish reaches about 4.5" with a heavy bioload, and needs 75–86°F water at pH 7–8. Always cycle the tank and test water before adding livestock.
