I'm planning to get some tropical fish after we get back from holiday this summer- will give lots of time to replace the living room carpet first so we don't need to move the tank, then do the cycle. I've looked at a lot of different tanks and am trying to decide between a 120l Interpet Fish Pod, a Fluval Roma 125 or a Marina Style 160. Any opinions?
Do I also need to get a smaller tank for quarantining fish when I've bought them? If so what size would you recommend? I was thinking 40-60l- would that be big enough. I need something that can sit on a solid wood sideboard as I only have room for a stand for the big tank.
How many fish could I put in a 120 or 160l tank? Was thinking two shoals of little ones and a few bigger fish. I'm waiting for Scottish Water to phone back about the pH and hardness of the water here. We don't get any residue in the kettle so am presuming the water is fairly soft.
