What Sized Tank Should I Get To Suit These Fish

[Howldaloom]

i have 3 guppys, four platies, 1 red tailed shark, 2 dwarf gouromies, 3 false julii cory cats, and 2 botia louch and 1 snail.

im not made of money and cannot afford alot, they are in a 10 gallon at the moment and i am looking at a 22 gallon which i can have with accessories at the end of this month for £30.

will this be ok?

The red tail shark need a big tank and the other will be fine but b=need i guess mi n 29 gal tank.

depends on the "botia loach" more than anything since that's not very descriptive.

Most of your loach species aren't going to happy in anything under 30 gals. Red tailed black sharks need bigger tanks as well. The other fish will be fine in a 22 gal.

i dont think you will get a 22 gal for £30 with acessories i bort a juewl rio 60 with heater filter and that and that was £80!

Keeping a Red Tailed Black Shark with guupies and gouramis isn't the best of ideas, as they are aggressive and do grow up to about 5" sometimes 6".

Get rid of the shark and the loaches, and what you've got left should fit nicely in a 22g. The shark will not only kill al ot of your current stock, but as mentioned he'll get to be a big boy and need a larger tank. The loaches I'm unsure of, but i do know they like to have plenty of space, and i don't think that botia would do well in a 22g.

£30 You can maybe get a larger bare tank, maybe clearseal etc... but not accessories...

my guess would be it's a used tank. I got my 29g plus accessories for $30.

But i agree with everything that's been said a far as the stocking goes...
