Bigger Is Definately Better

[fish mad]

When i had my 2ft tank the fish seemed happy enough swimming around doing their thing . The young guppies stayed in their quaters and didnt stray.
They recently moved home into a 4ft tank and what a difference. All the young now go out and explore and everyone seems alot happier.
If you get a chance at a bigger tank go for it. Your fish will appreciate it.

3 foot long 3 foot high and 2 foot deep


18 cubic feet of water = 1116 pounds,

aswell as the weight of the tank, gravel lid ect...

bigger is definately better!

I upgraded from a 20 or 29ukgal (I have forgotten the exact capacity) to a 65ukgal and it is definitely better. The Mollies have gone mad and I have at least 30 fry of different sizes. If my Common Pleco carries on growing I will have to get a 100ukgal.
