Aquarium sizes
In general the size of the aquarium will depend on the number and type of fish who will live in the aquarium. A thumbrule is that for each inch length of the fish, the aquarium should have a capacity of 1 gallon. However, there are some fish like bettas which will attack other spiecies of fish when kept in the same tank. So it is better to have separate smaller tanks for different types of fish.
Tanks of different sizes can be purchased at the local pet store, petsmart and walmart. Some of the common tank sizes and prices are:
1. 55 gallon – 160 $
2. 30 gallon – 95 $
3. 10 gallon – 40 $
4. 5 gallon – 30 $
5. 2.5 gallon – 12 $
Most suppliers will provide accessories like lights, filters, water conditioners and food free with the tank
