Tank is labelled as 220 gallons, but I have no clue where that number came from. The tank is an old one, at my work, and granted, it's easily over 150 gallons, but I've never seen a 220 dimension wise. I'll get them.
Tank has one foot long lima shovelnose, 1 common pleco, and 7 silver dollars, all six inches long each. Unfortunately, the tank also has a ton of freaking rockwork, making it hard for the cat to turn around easily.
I know limas like the company of their kind; but I'm worried about the limitations of the tank's width. I'll get the exact numbers tomorrow. Am looking for popular opinion as to if I should pressure my boss to get another shovelnose, so the first has company.
Myself, I'd just like to find him a better home and grab a school of pictus cats. The people who visit my zoo aren't of the highest caliber of intelligence; they'd love the shiny silver and the huge whiskers of pictus.

Re: Lima shovelnose, again
You should be able to figure out the volume with the simple formula:Taratron wrote:Tank is labelled as 220 gallons, but I have no clue where that number came from. The tank is an old one, at my work, and granted, it's easily over 150 gallons, but I've never seen a 220 dimension wise. I'll get them.
L x H x W in inches -> cubic inches.
CI/232 -> US gallons.
Pictus cats are very nice. But that may say more about my (lack of) intelligence than the catsTaratron wrote:Myself, I'd just like to find him a better home and grab a school of pictus cats.
