momar Born too late Jan 6, 2006 410 0 0 35 UK Dec 9, 2006 #2 You really want a tank with a footprint of 30x12" at least. I think that's a 20gal long or a 25gal depending on how high it is.

dwarfgourami7 Steve the angelfish Nov 13, 2006 382 0 0 32 England! uk Dec 9, 2006 #3 I can't go with more than 12-14 gallons. Will that be minimaly ok?
