I've been asked to write a FAQ on how to set up a goldfish tank for newbies who want to get it right, right from the begining.
I don't know it all... so here's my draft and I ask for your comments. Eventually we'll collectively build the FAQ when I combined all feedbacks.  |

Wah lau eh.
Never expected the 'mad' uttered can hit some nerves.  Apologize if you find it offensive,not meant to be sarcastic.I myself am keeping 9 in 750 litres,abt 80l per fish and still find my tank 'sparse'.I cannot imagine how 4 goldfish will look like if I were to base on 200l. Most websites recommend 1 inch per gallon or abt 25l per fish. Some base on tank area of 1 square foot per goldfish,eg a 4ftx2ft high tank may house 8 goldfish. But its up to individual and I feel that the relation bet water volume and number of fish need not be linear - eg while it is recommended that you house 1 in a 2ft tank it is perfectly OK to house 2 in a 3 ft tank. |

QUOTE(cpiw2002 @ Sat, 18 Sep 2004 11:13 am) I feel that the relation bet water volume and number of fish need not be linear  I support that. In fact, it's never linear. I believe HB given only a guideline, not a fix rule. |
