tank size for discus/angel fish
Hi all the experts here,
I would like to keep a comm tank of discus and angelfish. Probably about total of ten of them. I have a space constrain in my house. Isit better to have a 3ft x2 x 2 tank or 4ft x 1.5 x 1.5? Thanks advance for advice. |

If possible try for a 4x2x2 or at least a 4x1.5x2 if really space constraint.

And that's obviously not the right advice isn't it?

Would go for a tall tank if you're going to keep angels.
