What sizes needed?

[Fisto]

Hi,

I'dd love to keep cichla's in the future.
How much space do they need ?

Really like the tank of Dieselmack, annyone know how big that one is?

Tnx.

I think it is somewhere around 450 gallons.

yeah I think 450, maybe 540 but I think 450g it is.. As far as how much space, they need length wise swimming room, and room to turn around. So for life something 8'x3' or bigger..

Thats not as big as i expected, is that for 6 cichla's enough at adult size?

with bass they love to swim so like a 265 would be good..or even a 180 for like 2 or 3..

my tank (the big one) is 6ftL x 4ftW x 3ftH.

you need some dimensions like L8feet x W3 feet x H3 feet tankster,this will be ideal,CHEERS!

How important is height? Because here (netherlands) height has an huge impact on price. For example, a 8x3x3 costs around 1750 us dollar, while a 10x3x1,6 costs only 800 us dollar. So thats a big difference while the difference in liters/gallons isnt that much. But will a height of only 20 inch be enough?

I say yes, and for a minimum, for 6 adults, I say..............
