410L converts to roughly 100 gals. I'm not sure how many fish you could put in there. To give you an example...I have a 60 gal (227L), with at least 20 fish in it. I like to over crowd my tanks to keep aggression levels down. So far it works for me. I have good filtration and I keep up with my water changes and tank cleanings.

Hi Angel! You can have the siblings breed. I wouldn't have it happen too many times though. You will need to introduce another blood line at some point.

Hi Bip! The siblings thing I wondered about too. And especially since I have trams that are from different mothers but same father. I can always breed them to a subdominant male in a different tank but had wondered if anyone bred them to eachother.

Hello (another) Angel, lol. It's obviously best if bred with different blood lines, but it's ok for siblings to breed. It's even ok for offspring to breed with the parents. Fish just have differnt rules than humans, lol.

Except in places like the one town I lived in for a very brief time in the mountains. They broke the rules a long while ago! LOL
