General caudate to tank size guidelines.

[sde]

Correct me if I am wrong but I think these are the general caudate to tank size guidelines.

I am going to use a 5 inch caudate for a example.

5 gallon tank, 1 5 inch caudate.
10 gallon tank, 1-2 5 inch caudates.
15 gallon tank, 1-3 5 inch caudates.
20 gallon tank, 1-4 5 inch caudates.
30 gallon tank, 1-4 5 inch caudates.
40 gallon tank, 1-5 5 inch caudates.
50 gallon tank, 1-7 5 inch caudates.
65 gallon tank, 1-10 5 inch caudates.
75 gallon tank, 1-12 5 inch caudates.
85 gallon tank, 1-15 5 inch caudates.
100 gallon tank, 1-20+ 5 inch caudates.

Ok, I am not sure of this is correct but this is what I think.
Also I am not sure if there are other sizes of tanks, but you can post and ask bout that if you want. :grin: -Seth

It depends more on what the animal is than the size if the animal. An 8 inch siren is going to be a lot more active than an 8 inch axolotl. And an 8 inch axolotl will be more active than an 8 inch tiger salamander.

Like I said, this is just a general size ratio thing.

But you are very correct about that, I should have been more specific.
