10 gallon fish tanks

10 gallon fish tanks are just the right size for the beginner fish collector. Here is some basic information on these small tanks that any beginner should know:

• Placement – their basic size and shape make them easy to use in a bedroom or other small places such as a studio apartment.
• Fish size – to ensure you have enough room in your tank for your fish population, make sure the tank is at least eighty percent bigger than the full grown adult fish. These aquariums are not recommended for larger fish.
• Number of fish – 10 gallon fish tanks, on average, can hold up to eight very small fish (such as Neon Tetras) or two or three medium sized fish (Angelfish.)

It is never a bad idea to start out small. Before investing in a large, 100 gallon tank, consider trying out 10 gallon fish tanks. Make sure that you are willing to put forth the time and energy necessary to caring for fish, first.
