Decisions To Make On Fish Tank Size

[APColorado]

So...I am going to get another fish tank in the Spring...

Debating on a 75, 120, or 125 gallon tank.

I already have a 125 g, 40 gallon and 20 L, and 5 gallon (starting a different color colony) .

I will be breaking down the 40 gallon and putting all my RCS (probably over 1k) in it and stocking it with a micro community (dwarf corries and some other micro fish).

I've been reading the reviews of the 120 gallon (5ft long) and how it leaks according the reviews so kind of worried about that.

My 125 gallon has Angelfish, SAE, Corries, Neons, and Serpa Tetras

I say the bigger the better! I looooovvveeeeee nano species in a HUGE tank. So cool! It's great to see big schools of small fish.

Edit: Whoa, holy cow! I didn't realize you were a mod haha. I don't think I've seen you around before, so hello!

Life has kept me away from my favorite forum and hobby. I'm back now along with my fishy obsession.

I love nano fish over big fish. However, I have a soft spot for Angelfish that is why I have them in the 125 gallon.

I went to PetSmart the other day and checked out the 75 gallon which I thought I wanted and thought it looked so small.

I love micro fish communities...it makes the tank look even bigger.

 

[WTFish?]

Agree, nano fish in giant schools in a big tank would be cooool! Also, agree that I haven’t seen ya before, so hello!

Glad that you're back!!

I'm with you there, I do like the big fish but all my life I have always been obsessed with the small things. Like those fairy garden decorations, my favorites! Anything miniature is for me. Fish included, the smaller the fish and the bigger the school, the better.

My biggest tank is a 29 gallon, so the 75s look much bigger compared to mine but if I were you, I'd definitely go with the biggest you can get.

I have those miniature decorations, I use them as props for my guinea pig pictures

I personally would go with the largest tank you can get, as long as you can comfortably fit it with the room provided.

Also, welcome back to the forum!

So...asking for opinions?

I just want to see pictures of whatever this turns into. Nano...yes. Big tank...yes please!

It will start somewhere in the late spring. I do not want to order plants/fish during the winter and have a risk of them freezing.

This is EXACTLY why I haven't, either. Good idea!
