How big of a tank do you call "big?"
- Thread starter ~A betta named Mowgli~

I just find it keeps changing with me.
My 120g now feels like a tiny baby tank, my 14g I don't even count as one.
When I spoke to my bf about maybe setting up another tank he said "you already have two" ... It honestly took me a while to figure out what he meant! LOL.
Suppose depends on who's standards your looking at... I'd say 150-180+ is when it becomes "big"
Anything less (including mine
) is "beginner big"

240g/300g+ to me is when a tank becomes big. but that seems to be mostly from working with the pond. before I had the pond my 55g looked decent sized, once the pond was setup, my 55g looks like a critter keeper. lol
so once you hit 8x2x2 (or 8x2x2.5) that starts to seem "big" to me.

My 265 is to small
if its bothering you that much, I could do you a favor and take it off your hands!

Per my terms... concerning home aquaria...
10~ 49 gal... Small tanks
50~ 99 gal... Medium tanks
100~ 200 gal... Big tanks...
200~ 399 gal... Huge tanks...
400+ Massive tanks...
Every tanks feels "small" after owning it for a year or more... until it becomes time to move it...
I'm amused when people call their 6' or 8' tank "small"... but if someone came in their home and said "aww, that's a cute little tank you've got" they would most likely be offended to some degree... or at least see it as an ego blow...
PS - per my terms I've owned a huge tank but never a massive tank...

With the way that the fishkeeping market is going these days with more and more people keeping 'nano' and 'pico' tanks, even somthing like a 3 or 4' tank seems HUGE. Id say somthing like 5'x2x2 or 6x2x2 to be a BIG tank
My 75 seemed big when I got it 4 years ago. I've had it up as my only permanent tank for over a year and now I have a 20 set up to hold my small fish while I get a 29 set up for them. Just looking at the 20 kind of makes me laugh. Now I'm getting a 150, but it will only seem big for like 6 months....
