What size aquarium is appropriate?
As you learn more about the fish you can house together, you will need to make certain aquarium decisions, such as size. Make sure the minimum aquarium size is larger than the minimum size requirement of the fish you intend to house. In general, the bigger the aquarium, the better it is for the fish. Water conditions in larger aquariums are more stable and the concentration of harmful chemicals are diluted. Larger aquariums are capable of safely housing a larger number of fish, and they allow ample room for growth.
