New Tank! (agen)

[dayredfern]

Hey every1 im new to this forum so hi!, i used to have a tropical fish tank which i kept for about 3 yrs, during this time i had neons, swortails, mollys, silver shark, danios and a big plec! (not all at da same time lol). i just got a job in a pet shop and are fascinated by tropical fish again so i went out tonite and bought a 60x30x35cm tank
can u tell me how many gallons this is and how many fish i can put in it??? by fish i mean probably small tetras
also if u have any ideas of any comunity tanks i cud try such as what fish go wiv what then it is much appreciated!!

thanks

I make that 63 ltr=13 UK gallons,=16 US gallons, not counting displacement (gravel, ornaments etc). Should be good for c. 7 platy-sized fish, or 10-15 of the smaller tetras.

if you go onto the practical fishkeeping site they have lots of useful calculators

not suggesting your maths is wrong dwarf!

dwarfgourami's math is spot on.

FYI...
Just multiply 60x30x35 and then divide by 1000 for liters.
If you measure the tank in inches, then you can multiply the dimensions and divide by 231 for gallons.
