| With spring arriving, the outside life of most people increases. With that being said, I am getting ready for a new outdoor tradition, the fish tub!! Fish tubs are fairly easy to set up, as you don't need equipment. I use a cylindrical rubbermaid tub, about $8. Rubbermaid tubs are about 25 gallons. You don't need any equipment as I have said before. Most fish will spawn outdoors if they haven't indoors. Many fish and plants will survive the spring, summer, and early fall outdoors, including gouramis, barbs, cories, livebearers, danios, tetras, and many others. Bring your fish in before the end of august. Well, I hope you guys are enthusiastic as I am! _________________ I have been keeping aquariums most of my life. I have kept both fresh and salt water, cichlids, catfish, loaches, clownfish, wrasses, and everything in between. Feel free to ask me any questions!

| I don't get it. Is the tub for spawning or for bulk fish keeping?

It can be used for anything, including SW as long as you have a filter on it, but FW tubs don't need a pump. _________________ I have been keeping aquariums most of my life.
