Approx How Big Is This Tank

[grumpymole]

what you need is a 30g tank or something ike that
i looked in the friday ad other day, and theres a 50g for just £40!
stay away from kids tanks.

Where from? wouldnt mind that... Feel real sorry for the goldfish thats gonna be put in that small hole

A british magazine that sells loads of stuff, (sencond hand though ) but it was still a good tank

xautomaticflowersx well what do you expect from a company like them??

At least they've changed the pictures for the 'proper' tanks.... The 5g or whatever it is used to have about 3 angels, 15 neons, 3 dwarf gouramis and some other stuff in it, now it has only one dwarf gourami. Actually, I was looking for the National Geographic tank on their website, couldn't find it though... I wondered what they said about it on there.

That was an awefull ilustation, you couldn't keep one angel in a 5 gal, they should stop selling stuff like that, at least they changed the picture, I don't know why people have tanks like that.

Everywhere does it though. Look on the pictures on boxes of 1g tanks. Even if all fry looked exactly like mini-adults at birth there is no way you could even fit half of what they picture in tanks. I'll find examples....

Here we are, prime examples. All these on the page are 5 gallons, probably less with the gravel etc.

i have something similar to that

No I don't know anything more than you do, I just had a look at their website and info on tanks, and it's just aweful, so I think they are very crapy, luckily they don't exist here, but as unlucky as I am we have a chain shop similar to it, and it's crap.
EDIT: Grim Reaper do you know why that tank isn't suitable to coldwater fish, cos if it isn't it is probably crap, it probably has a heater without a thermostate or something like that.
