Sizes For Fish

[snake007]

Hi ,


What size tank do you think i need for these fish.


(They are all babies)

1. Blood Red Parrot Fish x2
2. Cardinal Tetra x5
3. Silver Sharks x2
4. Common Pleco x1
5. Neon Dwarf Gourami x2
6. Clown Loach x4
7. Black Mollies x2

And some small rocks and coral and live plants.

Hi to keep the Silver Sharks, Plec and Clowns something like a 6ft x 2ft x 2ft - without the Sharks, Plec and Clowns, some kind of 4 foot tank would work well - though the blood parrots are perhaps not ideal with the other fish but it could work.

The fact that they're babies now is irrelevant; they still need the proper size tank so they have room to grow.

Agree with above, the sharks and loaches need larger groups to feel comfortable, they behave very differently if comfortable with their surroundings..tetras, mollies, dwarf gourami's arent a great match for the parrots.

I would say a tank size somewhere in the region of 7ft x 2 ft x 2 ft if you plan on keeping the loaches AND the Plec. If you go with the sharks aswell you maybe looking at 8Ft or more

Personally Would not go with the silver sharks unless your willing to have a large tank and a couple more to shoal as these guys grow HUGE

Good morning and welcome! Nothing smaller than a 6ft tank will do for those fish, and you may even need to go bigger.
