Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / December 2004New tank
Hi guys Im finally getting a new tank for my much loved goldies... I have 12 of them and they will live in a 550L (or a 600L) tank....after being misinformed that a 200L was enough....i thought it was a wise decision to make my sweeties happier by getting them more room! I have been told one GF to 10 gallons. Larry > I have been told one GF to 10 gallons. > Larry That's 40 l (to first order). Thus 600 l >= 150 gal. -D  Signature"One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe The tank im getting is a 72x24x24 with stand. It will hold around 650L approx What is the maximum i can have here? > Hi guys > Im finally getting a new tank for my much loved goldies... > > I have 12 of them and they will live in a 550L (or a 600L) tank....after > being misinformed that a 200L was enough....i thought it was a wise > decision to make my sweeties happier by getting them more room! > The tank im getting is a 72x24x24 with stand.

I'd be really comfortable with 10 - 12 smaller size fish moving down to about 8 as they got bigger.

It will cost a fortune to set the thing up,, Are you intending getting a "backhoe" into the lounge room to shovel the gravel into the tank. Just for the record what are the dimentions of the tank. and have you worked out the weight to the nearest "Ton" bassett "Starfish" <everlong82@bigpond.com> wrote in message > Im actually getting a bigger tank than this.... > > It near 800L > "Starfish" < I have all the old stuff from the old tank and planting plants in pots with gravel......
