Hi everyone
I have a 200L tropical tank (with mollies, guppies, a black-body-red-tail shark & neon tetras)
I want to get a small tank to use as a hospital tank & quarentine tank to keep fish in for a week or so before adding to big tank.
My questions are these:
1)how small can this tank be?
I am very low on space & would like to be able to put it away in a cupboard when Im not using it, as mostly my fish are OK (fingers crossed) and I dont add new ones all that often. Also Id like to have one small enough so that I can carry it when full of water (well, maybe!) if thats possible.
2) does anyone have one to reccommend?
it doesnt have to be all that special, but it will sit in my spare room so I want it to look fairly nice. I think id prefer an all-in-one set up rather than buying pumps & filters & heater etc all seperatly, they tend to look neater I think. I was considering a baby biorb (I started with a big biorb before moving to the 200L) but Id rather it didnt have curved sides as it makes it awkward to see the fish well, esp if im using it as a hospital tank.
The smallest Ive seen is 7L and it looks OK & is an OK price, its a fish R fun tank, hexagonal:

What do you think?? Too small or OK??
Know of any better cheaper?
otherwise small ones seem to be kids ones & a bit childish
Thanks a lot in advance!!
