Question 1

What Size measurement is the tank

Accepted Answer

Measurement answers given do not provide 120 Litres, quite easy to just do the maths. Either the tank must be at lot smaller than 120L or the dimensions must be greater

Question 2

I have 8 large gold fish 4-5 inches long will they fit in ok

Accepted Answer

120 litres really is not big enough volume of water for 8 large goldfish. You may get away with 3-4 fish of the size you have got but only if you change at least 25% of the water each week using a dechlorinator so as not to affect the bacteria in the filter as goldfish expel a lot of waste and the water change helps to dilute the nitrates.

Question 3

Hi. How many small fish (5cm) do you think can comfortably fit in this tank? (120 litre one) thanks

Accepted Answer

Hi Sarah, I seem to have caused some confusion, for which I apologise - Vince'.    I would say 12 x 5cm fish should be safe in 120 litres of water.----  To clarify:120 Liters = 26.39631 UK gallons  26 UK Gallons will do.So at one inch of fish per gallon, you can have 26 inches of fish in your (26 UK Gallon) 120 litre tank.  Your fish are 5 centimetres each in length, which is Two Inches long (don't count the fins).     How many times can 2 go into 26 = 13Rounding-down the figures, because the substrate and decor is not water.I would say 12 x 5cm fish should be safe.    You can increase that by 50% in a mature well planted tank with suitable filtration.  That 'rule' I have quoted to you has been around for decades.   Do not take this 'rule' to the extremes, obviously One Twenty-Six inch fish works by this 'rule', but would fail in practise?  So, stop applying the rule at fish greater than 7cm long..?

Question 4

Is it standalone? i.e. does it need plumbed in or an electricity feed?

Accepted Answer

You have to change the water manually, there is no plumbing for water. The light and filter pump require to be plugged into a mains socket (pair)
