25 Gallon Tank

[tropicalfish16]

Hi! I'm looking into getting a 25 gallon tank and I had a few questions about it.

1. The one I was looking into was cube and I was wondering if this was okay for a zebra danio. Because the tank isn't long I didn't know if this was enough swimming space for them.

2. Is there any benefit(s) to a cube tank or is a long tank better? Are they the same?

3. Is 25 gallons big enough for my clown loach? Do clown loaches need schools?

4. Is this a worthwhile upgrade from a 10 gallon tank?

I know this is a lot of questions, but I want to make sure that the tank I am looking into is good.
Thanks so much!

Share the link! Also, I know that you can fit more fish in a long tank because there is more surface area. The bigger the surface area, the more fish you can fit. Clown loaches need schools.

I'm afraid i can't help much, but the bigger the tank, the better, so 25g is indeed better than 10. also, clown loaches need much bigger tanks than that... i personally wouldn't put them in anything less than a 6 foot tank, but that's me. they get quite big (i've seen them up to 9 inches) & prefer to be in schools.

I know about the surface area and everything, and would just have to avoid fish that like to swim, such as zebra danios.

Also, I am currently working on rehoming my clown loach.
