Best Answer

they only grow to the size of their tanks, so if you only have a small tank they will stay small. you need water treatments (one to equalise the bad stuff and one to add fish friendly stuff) and they will nip other fish and fan tails get nipped at my normal ones. they think the tails are food :)

fish look after themselves, just change the water

How many gallons of water do 4 fantail fish need?

I've had one fantail for the last 4 years. They are a difficult fish to keep as they have ongoing swimbladder problems and pick up internal infections very easily. Do not even contemplate on putting 4 of them in a tank smaller than 150 litres. They need a lot of room and I only have one, and its in a 112 litre tank with 3 other large type coldwater fish. If you have not already bought these fish, I personally would suggest considering different fish. They are hard to keep and are subject to bullying by other fish. Hope I've helped!
