What is The Best Fish Tank Size Ever? What The Experts Have to Say! (Simple Fish Keeping)

[@SerpaDesign]

10 Gallon Gang let's gooooo! Cool seeing the compilation all together with other keepers perspectives. 🔥

[@marlonf.naranjo6102]

Just upgraded from a 10 to a 20 high sorry

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Yup got 15 10 gallons myself right now.

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

10 gallons are great and cheap Can't beat that.

You the bomb dot com 💥

[@johnnygee4206]

Gotta go with the 40 gallon breeder. Cheap, plenty of stocking options, I can move one myself without popping a hernia, and it doesn't take up a ton of space. Of course, that 50 gallon low-boy might be worth changing my mind over. Made an audible "ooooooo" the first time I saw it. Great video! More of this!

[@Nomadistar]

Agreed. First time hearing of the 50 gal low-boy & it has my attention.

[@KGTropicals]

It shocks me that the tank I suggest is the largest in the group, I would have never guessed ha ha!! This is so much fun!!!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Should have asked Big Rich too. Haha

[@tonilynn1597]

I'm guessing big Rich would say, the average pool size would would be the best

One of the hardest questions to answer! Personally I own 8) 20L, 3) 33's, 1) 25, 3) 29's 2) 55's, 1) 75, a 125 and a dozen or so 10's. I agree that water volume makes for better tanks but I'd give the 4' tanks like 33's, 55's and 75's the best score depending on the stocking. For nice aquascapes and nano/small fish definitely a 33 if you have the space. As the size of stock and aquascape increases, it's easy to go up in height. Jason, I would love to have a 50 low as a "coffee table" tank.

[@guy8646]

33s are the best.

[@dastarddizaster]

@@guy8646 I tend to agree.

[@cosmoplakat9549]

Loved this one, guys!! For those of us constrained by apartment living and/or questionable floors not necessarily being level, I love the 20-long. But after I'd gotten my 45 gallon (36Wx12Lx24H) I wished I'd gone for that 40 breeder instead - way more front-to-back space and not so tall that it's too hard to maintain! I see there are some channels I haven't yet subscribed to! Really enjoyed all the opinions and people. ❤🐟❤

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

Ps your comments are disabled it happens to me all the time but I just love your blue betta flaring at the ramshorn😂❤️🥰

Thank you always from the bottom of my heart and I hope y'all are having a very blessed day!!🙏🌿🐟🌿💚

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

I really like the 20 gallon longs if I could pick any size tanks for future Fish room 💚

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you so much for being here!

[@mercurywillrise]

glad shallow tanks are getting some love. i'm five feet tall with t-rex arms so maintenance can be daunting in taller tanks because, depending on the height of the stand, even on a stepstool i'm armpit deep trying to do maintenance. Running 20 long right now, but since i can just buy a 29 gallon bare and still use all of my same equipment, i think it would be doable since my stand is so low. Also I love that all of my favorite aquatics channels collaborated for this

[@BertShackleford]

_Your swimming pool_ is the best fish tank size. Every other house here in Arizona has a swimming pool but not all of them are in use. I know a plethora of people who have converted their pools into an Aquaponics Farm with fish and everything. It is amazing what can be accomplished here in the Sonoran Desert. Then again, bigger is always going to be better when talking about fish tanks. I know this to be true because I specialize in Nano Tanks, and let me tell you, it is *not* an easy task! But I like a challenge and I think I have successfully set out to prove the community wrong (which I can safely say - mission accomplished). After all, the old adage rings true: _"There's no replacement for displacement."_ This can be applied to a myriad of applications whether they be car motors or fish tanks. In the case of the latter, there is a follow up adage: _"The solution for pollution is dilution."_ Stay classy my friends.

[@tjautocross]

Really great concept bringing all these folks together! I’m excited to see what else you have planned for this series.

This was a great format, and nice to see the camaraderie. As I watched, it was fun to see each creator, hearing their perspective and wondering who would be up next. Now I'm convinced I could use a few more tank sizes. ;)

[@natalianaic6634]

No Fish tank review? What a great idea tho. Havent heard of some of these creators. Awesome. In my opinion i have to say the 33 galon long is my favorite fish tank.

[@FishRoomFever]

The 33 long is an amazing tank. I just wish they were easier to find in my area.

[@Baddeal]

I love my 40 breeder with a 20 long sump. The foot print is easy to work with, cleaning the glass, etc etc. Water changes are easy and not an excessive amount. Doesn’t take up a lot of wall space. Not expensive to scape. Not super heavy to move if you move. You could do it by yourself and it will fit in pretty much any car. It’s also not crazy heavy when when running, you can run it on another floor. Really versatile. I will go bigger eventually but won’t get rid of it because it’s fun. I think a 75 gallon with a 40b sump would be a runner up if cichlids are the goal.

[@finnwiggles28]

SUPER FUN!!! Fish Room Fever took us along when he made his video for you and that was Super Fun too! I gotta agree w/The Small Scape on this one, my fav is my 8 gallon but it's a 'Low Boy' 16x16x8. ;)

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

That’s cool!

[@jbravo7505]

Great video,,, my choice would be the 33 long , it’s 4 feet long by 12 by 12 Long enough to fit some slightly large fish but no overwhelming to take care of

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Love that one too!

[@JDfan3340too]

LOVE this format! That was really fun! My favorite is definitely the 40g breeder. Just love it!

[@taylorblake5867]

in the size brackets the best tanks depending how much room you have is a 40 breeder for 3 feet a 75 for 4 feet and a 180 if you have 6. I think John wit KGtropicals is on the right track with a 125 but for a second story it's a bit to big. But with flip aquatics a 480 bigger is better I have an 800 and I love it

[@philcarlino6942]

This was a very cool video with all the fishtubers. I would say my favorite is either the 75 or 20. If I had less space, the 20 long or if I had more space, the 75. I like the foot print and the ease of maintaining them. It isn’t expensive to filter or heat them either. Great video!

[@FishRoomFever]

[@audrameyer9558]

Excellent!! Thank you all so much. This series is going to be fun and educational. That's the best 😊

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jordanwilde9226]

In retrospect I definitely wish I went with a 40g breeder over a 29g for my first aquarium. Granted, I love how my 29g looks after 10 months and it has served me well, but I definitely feel the limitations in footprint and accompanying stocking volume compared to a 40g breeder. Edit: Of the tank sizes I own (10g, 29g, 75g), the 75g is unquestionably the best. Great dimensions, excellent stocking options, and very forgiving compared to smaller tanks. The size also makes a great statement piece in a living room.

[@pjp9383]

I would love to have gotten a 40 breeder, or 4, for my fish rack. But as a less than handy person, I'm using a pretty standard heavy duty shelving unit, and it just doesn't have the depth available - the shelves are only 18 inches deep. So of the easily available on Craigslist or Kijiji tank sizes, I'm limited to the 30 gallon or so.

[@marlonf.naranjo6102]

GREAT SERIES! SO Excited for the rest of the videos. It feels like a new era of fish tube....

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Me too!

[@angiemoore1741]

[@LadyKej]

Hey, I love this concept and I was glad to see my girl Joanna included! My favorite size is the 75G…I wish I could have one in each room of my house. My next favorite size would be in that 6 to 8 gallon range for my mini scapes.

[@amandajoanbaker]

This was a cool video! I gotta go with the 29 gallon. All the benefits and stocking options of the 20 long, but with some extra height so you can do a top-middle-bottom dwellers thing nicely.

[@dwsnono9104]

Missing a couple youtubers I like "Secret History Living in Your Aquarium", Lucas Bretz LRB Aquatics, Jadren Aquatics, and Dan's Fish..... I watch most of these youtuber too. Never miss a video here though. 40 breeder is the clear winner, the upside to a 40 breeder is amazing. Easy to clean lots of surface area. I breed mainly. I even down graded most of my 55s to 40 breeders because of the benefits to a 40 breeder. 20 Longs would be number 2.

[@dastarddizaster]

Ditto!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Love all of them!

[@grayaquatics852]

My favorite tank personally is my 33 long that I have had since Feb 2020. I really like 4 foot tanks and its big enough to keep a decent amount of plants and fish, but without being overwhelming to care for. I also really like the 40 long and 40 breeder. I think in the 30-40 gallon size is kind of the sweet spot IMO.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Love the 33 longs!

For 1 tank only deff the 75g. Lots you can do in a tank that size, while being practical, frugal, and artistic. Wow I love this video collaboration 🙂👍🏻

[@jacobbaker4545]

I agree 75 is the way to go

[@tastyfishsauce4410]

Great video and question. In my opinion, the most versatile and best sizes to have are 20Long, 40Breeder, 75g standard and 125g standard. Out of theses, 40Breeder will give you the best bang for you $, easy to light, filter, maintain etc (providing you're keeping appropriately sized fish/es).

[@matthewwentzell3971]

This was awesome! I have been sooo looking forward to this video series ever since I watched your livestream last Wednesday! Hopefully this series has a long successful run!

[@b1oh1]

EASY....40g breeder! If a friend or family member asks me what size is a good size to start, can keep a good amount of livestock, and reasonably affordable...I recommend a 40g breeder. You can get a really nice setup done for ~$150-200ish price range. It's a large enough to keep consistent parameters. Lastly, it's a tank you can grow with as a hobbyist. And 50g lowboy is my favorite tank too. :)

[@franciscoo.8656]

Footprint.. More space at the bottom the better. Then its just about what kind of fish you want to keep. xD

A topic suggestion? I have Multi-Tank Syndrome and one of my biggest challenges remains, “Who Eats Whom?” Assassin Snails will deal with SOME pest snails but be sure to rescue them if you decide to go with the super-snail killers, dwarf chain loaches. But before you move those Assassin Snails into another pest-ridden tank, be sure you’ve rescued your Mystery Snails as the Assassins don’ t seem to care you paid $3 each for those guys. Cory Doras are great additions to your Electric Blue Acara tank IF you don’t want any more baby Acaras . And a Pleco is great IF you don’t want any more Cory Doras. You get the idea. Who will eat whom is a consideration throughout the lifecycle of each species in a tank. I’ve not seen a video covering an overview of this topic that isn’t species-specific. Love your channel. You’ve taught me SO much!

I saw, I think it was a 150 that was 60x24x24 or so that looked nice, though I would probably say 180 at 72x24x24. You can always have small fish in a big tank, but it's really hard to have large fish in a small one. But as far as smaller tanks, like a 10g is so small you might as well move up to a 20, and if you are looking at a 20L then you might as well go to a 29.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Both are cool!
