Moving Down A Tank Size

[tetraqueen]

If i went from 400 to 350 Jewel tank would my fish be ok?

I have 1 Gibbicepts 20cm approx at moment =20

5 Clown fish 13- 15 cm approc =73

1 golden gourmis 8cm =8

4 Bala sharks 14-16 cm =60

5 Green Barbs 5cm each =25

so at moment fish are =186cm approx


in 400 litres and I am seriously contemplating 350 tri angled fish tank as it will take less room and just wondered to change the Gibicepts as they previously said they would exchange if he got too big. I don't want to part with him but a new tank and the fact he cannot live with me forever as it would be cruel .

Advice please.

The bala and clown loaches may go too but then hubby will say keep with the live bearers (platy's)which I'll keep but in another tank with my neon and before you say I've had them together two years now and just get another little tank.

Thats for the Bala sharks but even so I guess when they get another growth spurt they will jump out the tank they are very nervous fish that can jump a lot.

The clown loaches what is the problem with them I've seen them chubbier but not very long or am I missing something and also they are very gentle and get a long nicely.
