Random brain fart... Divided tanks...

[Carefree_Dude]

It depends on the dimensions of the tank, and the size of fish that are being put in.

I think 60 gallons is a bare minumum for oscars but with regular dimentions... a 24x24x24 would not be a good oscar tank... I would never keep an oscar in a tank less thank 3 ft and thats only when the tank is wide and talll... I think shortbodied flowerhorns would be able to be in a 24x24x24s... or gramodes and other guys that don't exeed 8-10 inches...

This, first of all.

Fish benefit from the whole gallonage, in any case. It depends on the fish. Fh keepers do ita a lot and i see a lot of healthy fish like that.

But if it cannot move or turn, adequately, and have some space, then i will comcur with crammmed.

I would say cramped. I really don't like the appeal of keeping an LFS in your own home. If you wanna go variety, do a community and experiment. It will be a risky trial and error but be prepared for the cost and be responsible.

This^^^ no offense to you all that do this. I understand if your breeding fish and stuff like that. But, if you have to divide your tank to keep fish from killing each other, I personally think you just need to keep other fish or fish that will get along with each other. Nothing I hate more than seeing a bunch of egg crate in someone's tank, I like for it to look as natural as it possibly can...

if fish dont get along divide them with glass by putting them in another tank. imo a divided 8ft tank would just be 2 4ft tanks sharing water.
