How Big A Tank?

[cavie]

Just woundering how big a fry tank is ideal for about 50-60 fry?

Only had about 30 then got some guppies and they had more fry and now the tank looks full Its only about 10 gallon I think but not enrirly sure( could be smaller only 18inches by 12 by about 12)

I have 2 other tanks I could set up but not sure which is best. choices are 2 foot by 12 by 15 or a 31 by 12 by 12

well in a 3 ft i used to keep over 150 fry and young fish, was great fun doing water changes on them 1-2 times a week but as they matured the males and females when into their own tanks, to stop them all breeding LOL

Ive housed around 150-200 fry in a 2ft tank but at the age of 6-7 weeks depending on the growth i have had to move them on to the allow the younger fish to grow out in their so if your wanting to fully grow them to adult hood i would recommend 4ft plus

I was going to put them in the 2 foot tank then when they are big enough so they wont get eaten put them in my 4 foot tank untill I decid which ones to keep. Thanks guys
