hi all
im new to all this so please understand if i sound a bit silly,i just been given a tank with fish etc etc from my father in laws daughter (she hasnt got time for it anymore) anyway its in my hands now i think the tank is 37 litres (uk).my question is how many fish should be in there, ive measured the fish and the total length of the fish is 13 inches from head to base of the tail that is 4 fish total,is it time to upgrade cos i dont want them to suffer if theres not enough room for them. thanks oh yes this is a great site well done to all involved

13 inches for 4 fish, that means each is 3-4 inches, and a 37 litre tank just won't cut it.
What kind of fish are they? Single-tailed comets/commons or double-tailed fancies?
If they're single-tailed, then u gonna need at least 200 litres. If they're double-tailed, then u gonna need 150 litres.

Here's a link to get u started:

Hi there Fishy time
Agreeing there with D-Golem.

Must say welcome to the site. Its great you have adopted the fish and are prepared to give them a good home. You'll get great advice and tips on here.

thanks for the help,im not really sure what they are but ill do my best 2 single tails colour orange 1 double tail (orange)and 1 single but long tail multi coloured,ive just realized im on fish food topic upps anyway i was out yesterday and see this big tank set on its own cabinet looked very nice maybe its time to let my fish stretch out and save this tank in case of baby fish etc etc

I think the current tank is great for a hospital tank.

U are most likely has 2 commons, 1 fantail, and one shubunkin (any pics would help greatly). Make sure u get at least a 200 litre tank for them, and a good filter or two.

i cant remember the size but its around 3and half to 4 feet long and looks big, ill try and send pics when i get it just trying to sweet talk the wife thanks again for the info

Yes pic would be great especially when you get your new tank. Are you in the UK?

no iceland, just been back again today and the tank i want is 180 litres (not sure on gallons uk that is )would this be big enough for me fish and maybe a pleco bristlenose cheers.the tanks going cheap at 500 pound welcome to iceland looks like the visas coming out to play
