LYNDYLOO Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Splish Splash Tank Never heard of them before Cant see any reason why you couldn't add a heater to turn it into a Tropical Tank What are the dimensions of the Tank??? I've just googled it, should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny walker Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 yeah its by aqua one the dimensions are 40cm long x 27cm high x 25cm wide so would it be ok ? and how many fish or what fish could go in it. thanks soo much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I'd stick to one fighter or 6 ember tetras. Similar to cold water, all you need extra is a heater. 55W aquaone should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Your tanks about 25 ltrs then, I wouldn't be popping much in it, maybe a nice school of Neon Tetras or Cardinals, they're nice and bright, be nice for a small tank.

henward Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 id ditch the splish and splash and upgrade to a 2 to 3 feeot to be honest not worth really having a comm tank that small in my opinion. youc nt fully appreciaet the schooling effect of small fish and tetras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I do agree with you henward, but not all of us can have whooping big tanks like yours :lol: I think Cardinals look great in a good sized group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 BUT this tank is good for fighters. Don't disregard a tank just because you can get a better one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny walker Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 so a fighter sounds like the best option for my size tank? but are they an alright fish to keep for a begginer in tropical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice222 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Yep, they are one of the easiest fish to care for imo, and fun to watch. make sure you have some decorations or plants, they like to lean on things, hide behind things, as well as general investigation of deco. Mine sure is a nosey fella at least . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I agree with Ice. Just be careful with feeding them too much, try not to ever let them get that "marble" belly. Live plants are really good for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny walker Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Can I still breed siamese fighters with neon tetras and algae eaters in the tank? Cheers :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Can I still breed siamese fighters with neon tetras and algae eaters in the tank? Cheers :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: To breed them you need a lot of space. Multiple tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Can I still breed siamese fighters with neon tetras and algae eaters in the tank? Cheers :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: No, they need their own tank with no sand or gravel on the bottom, shallow water level and elevated temperatures. Plus the neons will eat the eggs.

Ice222 Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Not a good idea. you'd either have to have lots of dying fish involved, or lots of tanks/huge tanks to house all the babies in. Considering that you can't afford a Larger tank than a splish splash, it's really not a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
