Re: [Killietalk] Dividing tanks? and show me your fish rooms

["Robert Goldstein" <rgoldstein at rjgaCarolina_com>]

 Dividing a 30 won't be as useful as having a large undivided tank. You 
can't clean 1/3 of a tank. 30s are great for raising large spawns, starting 
with a few inches of water when they're small and adding volume (with water 
changes) as they grow. Big tanks are best for large hatches, as they provide 
room for overfeeding mistakes, and, more importantly, dilute the growth 
inhibiting substances so you get more even growth and better growth.  Small 
crowded tanks just crash and burn.
