hey guys

so ive had mixed advice on keeping a fighting conch in my 65 gallon tank. some people say you need over 100 gallons to keep one?

does anyone with my sized tank have one the is doing well and survived for a few years?

    If you get the cute smaller one kind, you've got nothing to worry about. The rule I've heard is 1 conch per 2 sqft of sandbed. And that would be open sandbed, not one covered/smothered with rock that the conch can't get to. I think a small one would be fine.

    In my 400g, I have a big fat one and two smaller cute ones. The big one is the size of a lemon, the two smaller ones are maybe 1.5" long.

    I don't know how they will do with crushed coral. Never done that, I've always kept them with sand.
