Toirtis Mega Fish Posts: 1260 Kudos: 529 Votes: 6 Registered: 24-Feb-2003 | That is far too small for most of those fish on their own, much less together....and that dragon goby needs to be kept a lot cooler than most of those others. For that lot together, start thinking along the lines of 96"L x 54"W x 48"H (1100G) or better. Last edited by Toirtis at 16-Nov-2004 14:24 |

littlemousling Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003 | Well, I'm of the opinion that Toirtis is aboout as well-informed as they come on matter of big fish and oddballs - you'd be very, very safe to trust his opinion. Sorry, but big fish are big fish, and they need SPACE. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com! |
