I my neverending journey to find the most info I can I am wondering if 2 GTs are feasable in a 55gal?

Or would I have to suck it up and get a 75gal?

Im just wondering how much my 2nd floor apartment floor will hold

Go for the 75g it will help a ton. Usually the 75g are not much more expensive. If your going to try breed then a 75g is probably the minimum

You have to do some reasearch as far as the larger tank. Flooring, load bearing walls, joists, year of construction. I'm in a 3rd floor apartment and after checking into all this I had to ditch my plans for a 125g and get a 75g.

The 75g is on the same wall as a 29g, 20 long, and 2 10s. No problems fortunately.

Read through [link=this article]http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/aquarium_weight.php" style="COLOR: #FFCC99[/link], I think the pics are great
