kubotai in a 3 ft 30 gallon?

Post by loachmom » Sun Feb 08, 2009 6:36 am

Hi,

I've been thinking about doing some tank rearranging, but I'm not sure about one thing. I've been doing some searching, and I can't find the minimum tank requirements for B. kubotai.

Would 5 of them plus one B. dario be happy in a 3 ft. 30 gallon?

Thanks.

You could be ok at least temporarily. I personally think that the tank is on the absolutely minimum for them especially once adult and would perhaps need to be housed in larger quarters eventually. I assume you mean 30 U.S gallons and not Imperial in which case you will more than likely need to upgrade to a larger tank in due time.

Why are you only keeping a lone Dario if you don't mind me asking?

Thank you for your opinion, Doc. I appreciate it. I may just keep them in their 55 gallon.
Yes, it is US gallons. :wink:

Also, I am keeping just one dario since he is all I have found so far. I will get him tank mates when I find them. He is a rescue.

I thought that might be the case with the Dario.
