Is my tank adequate enough for a small group of Metynnis Fasciatus? It's 60.5" long, 16.5" wide, 25.5" tall. If so, how many? They would be with 6 Geophagus Sveni that are now juvies at 2-3", but will be about 6-7" average at full grown. I want to make sure they have adequate space in a tank just a hair over 5 feet. Thanks.

Without the Geos I'd think you'd be fine, but I'm not sure how they'd get on with one another, and I'm worried about bioload. Good filtration will be a must.
Getting on isn't an issue. They do great together. I was just worried about space requirements. Although, I did just have a couple other folks just tell me 6 would be fine. But, one said I had room for more in the tank and the other said no more room
in the tank.
I agree the space would be fine so long as they play nice together
