Tank Sizing

[nickysin27]

I have two 10 gallon tanks, one at my aunt's house and another at my brother's.. I originally started the tanks for them.. but they aren't maintaining them.. so I'm thinking of combining the habitants in one tank.. here at home. So there's 2 dojo loaches, 2 upside-down catfishes, 3 peacock gudgeons, 5 kilifishes, 2 cherry barbs.. how big of a tank would I need?


Thank you!!
I really appreciate it :]

Depending on the species of killifish, I'm counting about 30ish inches of full grown fish plus the two loaches. I think dojo loaches get 6-12 inches, depending on which species.

A 45 or 55 gallon tank should work - possibly a well filtered 30 gallon, though that may be pushing it, especially if those loaches get up to 12 inches, and my own killifish didn't like a heavily filtered 30 gallon (too much surface movement).
