I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Think of it kinda like portholes on a ship but filled with water. I think those are a little more severe than these TV's...small, but do-able.

baz Fingerling Posts: 34 Kudos: 21 Votes: 133 Registered: 22-Dec-2004	They're fine in a 20 gal. Is it planted? What kind of filter do you use?

jproc Fingerling Posts: 16 Kudos: 7 Votes: 1 Registered: 15-Jul-2006	Edited by jproc Yep it's planted, with a small cave. I'm using a tetra whisper filter. Guys, what do you think about this one? Requires a bit more work. Seems much roomier!! http://www.kooltanks.com/fishtank_2.php Thanks everyone!!!

baz Fingerling Posts: 34 Kudos: 21 Votes: 133 Registered: 22-Dec-2004	Edited by baz The problem I have w/ this shape is there isn't much water surface volume which is important for o2 exchange. This means you wouldn't be able to keep as many fish in this tank as I think you'ld like to.

Silver sharks always seem to behave like that in the shop.... Yabbies in that tank maybe?..... axylotyl? soooo narrow ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~
