Finished 20G Long Tank!

[FishieKeeper429]

My 20g long is officially done and set up!

My stock:
1 halfmoon double tailed Betta (Burnie)
Divider
1 red tailed shark (Normandy) *i am switching him to his own 15 gallon soon*
3 tiger barbs (Blake, Ruby and Snake)

Tell me what you think! My parameters are good. It just finished cycling last week (I used bacteria boosters)
I have a TopFin Power 30 Internal Filter and once I get my air pump, the volcano will bubble too.
Opinions?

I really like the layout, it's an interesting setup! But a 15 gallon is waaay too small for a redtail shark... they can get 6 inches long.

So about how big does the tank need to be?

I would actual keep the shark in the 20gL as they are quite active and out the betta in the 15g and remove the divider. Thy really nee at least a 55g, as it's common for them to get over 6in.

I second what cgthebeast said, rts need at least a 55 gallon.

I see youre us ing the top fin internal 40 filter.. I love them I have 3 of them in my tanks, and 3 of the smaller versions too

Yeah, I agree with the above. RTS need at least 55g, and tiger barbs need to be in groups of 6+ of their own species. I'd do at least a 30g for tiger barbs.

I'll look into it! Thanks all!

So here's what I'm planning on doing. Right now I'm very short on money but I do want the betterment of the fish so I will take out the divider, put my Betta in my old 10g by himself and take out the divider.

That looks really cool with the red theme and the volcano!
