volvodriver Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hey guys, I've been considering purchasing a giant or two but nowhere can i find any information about how large their tank should be ect. I would assume because they're double the size they need more space, but how big of a tank am i looking for? Also while on the topic, is there any different care requirements that i should keep in mind like disease prone or anything? Cheers, Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Paul, I'm keeping mine in 8 litre kritter keepers at the moment - they are only about 4 months old though and not fully grown so will have to see how that goes for now.... As for care - generally the same as a normal betta except they eat like pigs if you let them so produce more wastes ... so the way I figure it the larger the container the better.... A 2ft tank divided into four compartments would give you roughly 12 litres per compartment.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvodriver Posted October 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Thanks fishbites! I'm currently looking at splitting a 2 foot in 3 with water draining from one to the other so that's reassuring to know I can use one of the compartments to add a giant to the collection.
