Sorry maybe this didn't need a WHOLE thread to itself.. only 1 small question but I didn't want to steal someones thread...
Basically, I have a small cube tank (with filter/light etc) it's about 8 inches x 8 inches x 8 inches.
Would that be too small for 1 Dp ?
I have no idea how many gallons that is etc, I tried googling it but it wasn't easy so...

I don't mind if it's too small, I won't squish one in, I just think they're cute & was wondering
If it is too small, could you give me a size in inches which would be about right.. because in my lfs the boxes don't say gallon's just the actual size
Thanks

I'd say its too small. That equals 2.21184 gallons.

This is how you do it. You take length x width x heighth to get the cubic inches. Mulitply that by 0.00432 and that equals gallons.

Let me give you an idea, a 24x12x12 is a smidge under 15 US gallons. So a little 2ft tank will hold 3.... Just.

Looks like you'll need a tank about 10 x 10 x 10 for one.

Hmm maybe I can fit that we'll have to see, thanks guys

To be exact 10.5 x 10.5 x 10.5

Hope I helped!
