aquariumbeginner32 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 I just got a 64L tank today and the lady at Animates said the rule is 2 litres per cm of fish. Is that right? I already have 2 minnows and 5 guppies. Can I get anymore or is that it? Seriously I am not sure it's 64L as I used a bucket which is 10L to fill it and I am sure I used about 8-9 buckets of water and there is still a huge gap from the top of the water to the top of the tank. I haven't measured the height or width but it's 60cm long. It looks to be about 30cm width but the height looks about 45cm.... And I have a gap of about 10cm from the top of the water to the top of the tank. I will take a photo tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 I just got a 64L tank today and the lady at Animates said the rule is 2 litres per cm of fish With that theory, that tank will house a 30cm arowana comfortably... Which is completely untrue. Assuming its coldwater, I would just get more minnows after the tank is cycled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumbeginner32 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 I know it's not big enough for a goldfish. I am sticking with guppies and minnows until I can afford to get a bigger tank. Or I might not get goldfish ever and just get another 64L tank eventually and have some small tropical fish in there. I just need to know how many minnows or guppies I can put in the 64L tank. I have 2 minnows and 5 guppies. If I got another 3 minnows would it be too many fish?

Joshlikesfish Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 I personally would get another four minnows. But wait till its cycled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
