What's Better?

[dbanner]

What tank would be the better option for my Oscar? A 4ft long rio 300 (350 litre) or a 5ft long vision 450 (450 litres)? I know the juwel vision obviously has 100 litres more water capacity but even though it's a foot longer im not sure if it's as wide or as tall. My friend wants £100 for the rio with all the equipment and iv seen the vision 450 for £200 with everything. Just not sure which would be the better option?

I'd say for oscars... the bigger the better!

They grow at an alarming rate.... monsters

100% the 5 footer.

Really? Ok then thanks zod. I wasn't too sure as I thought bow front tanks were not that wide front to back..

And Gary your right. Around 1 inch per month I believe

 

[ZoddyZod]

as long as the tank is over 18" deep (front to back) I would say that would be ok so then they have plenty of room to turn.

Measurements for the 450 are 151x61x64cm... Not sure what they equal to in inches?

 

[ZoddyZod]

30cm = approx 12"

....so looks fine!

Ah so a decent size tank than. Iv not actually seen it in person, just been enquiring about it so far.

Who's your friend and where does he live? I'd love a Rio 300 for £100...

Edit: I see your in Wales, so guess im out of luck... Wrong side of the UK...

Lives in Pontypridd in south Wales. Its a nice tank which is why I'm finding it so hard to decide which to get. It's £100 to me but it's advertised elsewhere for £250

Lol ok
