The inlet and outlets are the same size on a tank, weather your Plumbing is the same size should be the question.

This is not critical, but they should be the same,if there is no backflow restrictor on a plubic line and the inlet is larger then the outlet,then you could be pushing hot water into the pubic line. New installs recommend an expansion tank,but few people install them,unless

they get water hammer,knocking sounds.

But most new water heaters have a restrictor built into the inlet.

There is no difference between gas and electric, the water does not know how it is being heated.

Goldfish a dalmatian molly a black goldfish and a red wing platy How often should you be feeding them?

You are doing the wrong thing to your fish. Goldfish are large growing (over 10 inches)coldwater fish and should have temperatures around 55F. Mollys and Plattys are small tropical fish (around 1.5 to 2 inches) and need a temperature of around 70F. Either your goldfish or your tropicals will be suffering. The metabolism of tropical fish is higher than that of coldwater fish. This means that the tropicals should be fed several times daily (at least 3) provided their water temperature is correct. The coldwater fish should be fed at least daily if their water temp is correct. MY advice. Separate the tropicals from the coldwater fish and do the right thing by them.


Do betta fish live in coldwater or hotwater?

Betta fish are from Asia (unlike the common beleif they live in puddles, that is a mere MYTH) They are used to temperatures of 80 degrees F. or above BUT For a healthy fish in your own bowl (about 2 gallons for your fish... DO NOT use a smaller tank than 2 gallons) Bettas in your home should have water the temperature of at LEAST 75 Degrees F. to 79 degrees F., when breeding your fish it should be about 80 degrees F. But befor eyou do breed your fish Read up on it. --Amber the fish girl
