My 60 gallon turned out to be a 75 gallon!

Post by Kacey86 » Sat Oct 10, 2015 1:27 pm

I recently upgraded from a 20 gallon long to what I was told was a 60 gallon. I bought it from a friend, and it came with a nice stand, several Exo Terra lights, driftwood, and some other stuff. I just decided to measure it and use one of those online aquarium calculators... Turns out I have a 75 gallon! I don't know why but I got so excited to find this out!

You're excited because a 75g vs a 60g means....more room for more crabs!! :lol:

Thank you! I try to make it as natural as possible. And 15 "extra" gallons means a couple more crabs!

Would you be interested in rehoming the remaining two?
