Cont'd Water Quality for Giant Plakat
3.0 Water Quality for Giant Plakat
One of the unique thing of giant plakat is that because of the size of the giant plakat, the weight is almost 5 times of the normal plakat! Not to mention the huge appetite and messy eating habits! As a result, maintaining the water quality of the giant plakat tank is very important.
The recommended tank size of the giant plakat should be at least 7 inches(W) x 12 inches(L) x 9 inches(H). The water level should be 80% of the tank.
