How would it do with 3 spotted rapheals and 3 giant rapheals,2 black ghost knives, 2 koi, and 2 9 inch goldfish. in 300 gallon stock tank
Temp 78f. For life.

I do believe it would get too large for a 300 gallon.

Madding why would it be to big for a 300 gallon stock tank?

Keep the info comming to whether or not I should get one, because if I get one it would be a big commitment.

Iam asking about tankmate compatibilty and tank size compatibility to the Sailfin Pim.

how wide is it? pims have extremely long whiskers and ive noticed that they are very uncomfortable if their whiskers touch both sides of the tank at once. Is the stock tank rectangle or circular?

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the marbled pim, forgot that the sailfins are a smaller species.

It should be fine.

Don't worry I think 80% of people, myself included, mix them up espeacially when they're adult coloration comes in.

300 Gallon Stock Tank :
63" Wide x 69" Long x 25" Tall. Roundish...

It will have a trickle down filter with 1100gph running through it if that matters.

Thanks Guys , keep the info coming.

That should be big enough as long as it is the fish I'm thinking of.
