glad you got them. How big is the guppy tank?

[thom336]

its only a 16ins by 8ins by 8ins, and has 3 females and a male in. plants include parrots feather, a young amazon sword which came off a parent plant in my 3ft planted tank, bronze bacopa and im going to add some more young swords and some java fern.

im going to take som pics of my other tanks later today, and add them to the album.

[thom336]

oh, and another swrod in that guppy tank. ok, ive added some more pics now.

I mean gallons. Do you know how many gallons it is?

[thom336]

erm, well, i dont normally work in gallons. i'll work it out in a sec.

well, from what i can work out, about 3.5G, but im not sure if thats US or UK gallons. i know it is 16l. i wouldnt normally recommend the use of such a small tank, but i believe that if a fishkeeper knows what they are doing, and keeps a suitable species, then small tanks can work. i am hoping to, and currently am succedeing in, proving this. i have since got rid of the sponge filter and now just have an open-ended air line, and cry out partial regular water changes, of about 50-60% of the aquarium water at a time, which is about every 5-6 days.

did you know that in Germany it is illegal to keep fish in tanks smaller than 60l?

[BigFishDude]

Nice fish you got there! that 16 liter looks bigger than 3.5 gallons. BTW, how many gallons is 60 liters?

[thom336]

thanks.

60l is about 14G

like i said, i wasnt sure about whether they were US or UK gals, and im not entirely sure if my calcs are right.
