The old adage that says, the greater is better for aquariums. Large volume of water is always better when it comes to keeping live fish in a glass box. Although it is not impossible to successfully keep fish in a small space, there is a greater margin of error with a larger reservoir. One thing to consider when buying a larger pool is the cost of operating a larger filter and moving a larger amount of water volume. Consider the purchase of ten gallons of freshwater aquarium. May the tank itself costs about 15 U.S. dollars, the power filter $ 20 U.S., the heater (where keeping tropical fish) 12 United States dollars, ten pounds of sand and gravel $ 12 U.S., water conditioning U.S. $ 10 net, cleaning sponge and a lid adds another U.S. $ 15. So for ten gallons tank, expect to pay about 80 U.S. dollars without light!
Compare that to a breakdown of costs 50 gallon freshwater aquarium. May the tank itself costs about 70 U.S. dollars, filter about 70 U.S. dollars, the heater $ 20 U.S., 50 pounds of sand and gravel for $ 40 U.S. United, water conditioning $ 12 U.S., net sponge cleaning and 8 U.S. dollars, and generally comes with a lid. Thus, for a 50 gallons tank without light, expect to pay $ 220 U.S..
At the outset, it seems more attractive to buy ten gallons tank, but that is where most people make the mistake. With such a small volume of water, the temperature within ten gallons aquarium can fluctuate dramatically with the outside temperature. This is very stressful for the fish. So what tends to happen is that people will buy ten gallons tank, and save $ 140 U.S., but then end up buying $ 140 U.S. a replacement value of fish . Or worse, frustration sets in, and ends the tank at the next garage sale.
A greater volume of water will help to stabilize the temperature changes during the summer months and changes of water. In general, if only 5-10 percent of the water is changed within 60 gallons tank every 2 weeks, the fish tend to do well and parasites do not take over the tank. However, with a small tank 10 gallons at 5-10 percent water change could potentially have a devastating effect on the chemistry of the tank. A small change of water has the ability to change temperature more than 5 degrees Fahrenheit, which will focus on fish and cause disease. Once the contract of fish disease, it is also easier to handle in a larger container.
Medicines in the 50 gallon fish tank will allow accurate dosing than drugs. When the processing of fish in a small reservoir the quantity of chemicals to be added must be carefully measured and double-checked before being poured into the tank. A miscalculation could prove fatal results. However, this miscalculation could go unnoticed in a large tank. This does not mean that drugs should be measured when added to a large tank. It is easier to treat fish in a tank with more water, but if the guidelines are followed, the fish can recover, whatever the size tank they are in.
In a large tank, obviously, big fish can be kept where they have adequate room to swim and develop. A big fish can be kept in a small tank, but the fish grow to the size of the tank. If the shell is smaller than the maximum size of the fish, the fish grow deformed with an internal malfunction. Needless to say, it is much better for the fish to the pair of fish size to the size of the outbreak. People should not take German bergers in boxes suitable for Yorkshire terriers, and similarly Oscars should not be kept in 10 gallons fish tanks! A reservoir the size of an adult Oscar would 36in x 18in x 16in. In a tank the size of the fish has the ability to run comfortably. The adage that 1 gallon water tank is necessary for 1 inch of fish is not true. The keeper fish must take into account the total mass of fish. Ten inches of neon tetras does not mean 10 inches because the circumference of the Oscar Oscar is much more important than Tetris. Thus, when choosing the tank to choose, research, the maximum size of the fish you want and buy a tank where fish can turn around comfortably.
