Looks like I have obtained a new tank.

My father has a huge 5 foot long tank that he is looking to unload and I mean big, it's 5 foot long, 2 foot wide and 2 foot deep, compete with a stand and hood.

How many axies could I fit in such a tank? It comes complete with a large 30L capacity canister filter, and it is currently running and has been constantly for the past 2 years, so it is completely cycled, and was used to house African cichlids.

Did I mention that my dad said I could have it for nothing? Finding room for such a large tank could be a problem, but I'm sure that I could find a space, even if it has to go in my bedroom.

I'm also after ideas on how I could "axiescape" such a large tank to make it pleasing for both axie and human.

wow I'm so jealous! I think you can house 4 in a 4ft tank so maybe 5 in a 5 ft tank??? Not sure though it depends how big they get I suppose. You can really have some fun with all that space! - I'd just have a look through all the photos in the galleries for some inspiration - good luck with it, be sure to post pics of the end result!

Oh lord I'm jealous! I'd say around 5 or so yeah! I'd be careful about keeping it in your bedroom, the only reason I didn't get the 6x2x2 I wanted was because it may have brought down the ceiling! lol!

Thats the same size as my new tank, ive got 4 at the mo gonna get another goldie to make 5 but I think I could easily house 6 full grown axies very comfortably!
