Question
Hi. I have a 29-gal. tank with 2 small rkyukin in it.  You told me the tank size was fine.  My question is, what size tank would I need if I got another fish?  Just wondering.  I do water changes (25% & 10%) twice a week, with vacuuming once a week.  Thank you.  Debbie  

Answer
Hi Debbie;

I would get at least a 40 gallon tank. Ryukins need at least 10 gallons per fish. You might be better off with a 55 gallon setup because they are often a more reasonable price. They are a very common tank size so you might get a better deal than trying to find a 40.

Keep up the good work!
