    measure them then think that every 1in=1gallon. so you might need to get rid of some.

    ya it is way too full

    try taking out one species of fish

    No you cannot put any more in there, I hope you never added them all at the same time, biorb filtration works of the old method of of using gravel to filtrate the water, this takes quite a while to mature, you’re over stocked now, so do not add any more fish.

    Biorbs may look good, but they are not practical for keeping fish in, they make it difficult to keep plants, in cleaning, how do you heat it ? You would be better of getting a proper tank for them.

    Yes, you are full, something you will want, and need to fix.

    Also please do not listen to the answer that states the 1in=1gallon rule.. that rule is so inaccurate.. it doesn’t take into account the bio load of a fish, nor its swimming tendencies, its a ridiculous idea. PLEASE do not do that. look up the recommended tank sizes for every fish you buy, and make sure you can accommodate.

    Hi there,

    I have just been given a 60 litre Biorb Aquarium with an inteligent heater. I want to ensure that I get the right amount and right species of fish. I have done a lot of research but want to get some other opinions?

    Please could anyone help?
