Aquarium Size

Size does matter -- and the larger your tank, the healthier and happier your fish will be. The important factor in the size of your aquarium is the water surface area -- so a longer tank is better than a tall one. Fish need plenty of oxygen and the more surface area there is to the water, the more oxygenated it is.

Also, cold water fish require more oxygen than warm water fish...so that is something to consider.
