Subject: Re: Ideas for biorb life 60 by DaveGodfrey on 16/9/2012 20:59:52 The small footprint is an issue for many of the fish people start with- neons, WCMMs, etc, while small enough for a standard 60L don't have enough space in a biorb to stretch their fins. I keep my WCMMs in a four foot tank (in a fairly large shoal) and they use the full length of it. A tank not much over a foot wide is not going to be suitable for them. Some of the smaller microrasboras would be OK, but they really like planted tanks with plenty of vegetation to hide in, which is also difficult to achieve in a biorb. If you want something to fit in a small space the AquaOne Aquanano 40 would be a much better choice- the filter is much better than the biorb, so you can use whatever substrate you like, and it holds about as much water as the biorb does. Its shorter and squatter, but is a much better tank, and comes in at not a lot more than the Juwels. Had they been available when I bought my cube I'd have got one- in the end I went for a bare 40cm cube (also by AquaOne), and bought the heater, lights, and filter separately. |
