My ideal tank size of 5 aros and a ray is 6x3x2.5ft. Wanted to go 3ft depth but I already cannot reach @ 2.5ft so .....
8 aros comm I think 9x3x3 would not look to crampy when they reach adulthood. |

The Bigger the better, as big as pocket allows, house space allows, CO allows....

shiokmc suggest 3 width. I only consider 2.5 before. guess I will fix 3 width as 0.5 bigger really make it bigger. |

agree would be good to have width 3 since you are comm-ing aro and they all need long of space to turn. as for height 2.5 would be good,if 3 think you need to dive in to clean tank base liao haha

Ok now I got the recommend height 2.5 and width 3.
Hmmm for the length still haven't decide between 6 to 8ft. Let see what other bros suggest and advise. |
