Tank size

[mitch]

I have a 16" olocellaris and a 12" temensis in a 7'x2.5'x2' tank that were going to be moved into a 8'x2.5'x2.5' but because of the layout of the lounge that may have to change to a 9'x2.5'x2'. Would they be ok in a 2' wide tank when they get bigger?

 

[Loubard]

Nope, it better to have at least 2.5 ft when they get bigger.

2.5 wide would deffinatley be a lot better.

Better than the extra height.

 

[The TRUST]

Yes. I agree with more width is better than height.

Besides. High tanks are a real ***** to clean

 

[mitch]

Ok, the options have changed again. The tank can be either 11'L x 30"W x 33"H or a 9'L x 34"W x 38" H. What do you think?

 

[BigPleco]

The wider the better, but you dont want to go too deep...pain in the ass to clean just like Trust mentioned!

 

[AquataHolic420]

they look good

 

[mitch]

Not bothered on the height side of it, as both tanks are a nice height. I cant decide on the other diamentions, what would be better for the fish?

 

[Steve_89]

In that case I would probably go the 11' tank.

In that case I would probably go the 11' tank.
