its 48" long by 18"wide by 24" tall.
its actually not so much the height and width that is the problem - the fish turn around no problem.
its the length that is the issue.
together, they are 3 feet of fish in a 4 foot tank.
the 150 is 6 feet long and also taller - it will give them lots more room...
but it might be up to a year before I am in a position to get it..
as long as they don't grow anymore, they should be fine to hold out that long...
actually, they are not too bad.
the only time they get spooked sometimes is when my arm is in there for cleaning..
as you can see, I have eliminated any decorations in which they can hurt themselves. Thats why they remain in excellent condition despite being a bit cramped...

Here is an interesting shot, that shows just how much size adding some bodylength can do:
compare the 18 inch barb with the 12 inch normal tinfoil barb of the same bodyshape in the bottom 65.
an 18 inch fish is almost twice the overall size of a 12 inch fish, which is something a lot of people don't realize..
sure, you are only adding 6 inches of body length, but you are also adding 2 inches in thickness, 4 inches in hieght etc.

Sweet barbs, the only ones ive seen in real life were about 3ft and well over a foot deep. Beautiful fish. They make the tank look small!
Love the sev too, Rotkeil?
