misnoma Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 So... given I have killie fry right now, what would be a good size tank to hurl them in? I'm thinking somewhere around 40-50L ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserole Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 yes a standard 2 foot tank is perfect =600mmx300mmx300mm = 50lt tank or thou it depends on how many fry you have you could grow around 100 fish to 25mm long or 40 to 40mm long in that tank no trouble at all.

misnoma Posted July 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Awesome.. yeah, it's purely for that use... so that will be goodness Just planning a small heater and corner sponge (or small internal) filter for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 or misnoma what you could do is get like a 5ft tank and devide it up its still 1 tank :lol: Ant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserole Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 I don't think that size tank is aloud Ant. misnoma, I just use home made sponge filters or plastic box filters. bear bottem (no gravel ), easer to keep the tank clean as the amount of food you feed your fry increases .

misnoma Posted July 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 bookshelf isn't that big :lol: :lol: :lol: might get a couple of 20ishL tanks instead of one 50, that way I can seperate species and stuff - given I'm only dealing with small numbers would that work okay?

caserole Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 standard killi breeding tank for most species is 300mmx200mmx200mm =12lt, a pair or trio are fine in there if water is keep clean, reg small water changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misnoma Posted July 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 cool cheers edit: found a 20L tank on trademe, it's mine I'm taking it a small air-driven corner filter will be fine for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
