It seems like there is only 30"in the longest measurement. That's quite a bit small for either discus or uaru. What are the exact dimensions?

Here are the deimensions


Green 7 1/2 inches



White 30 1/4 inches



Yellow 13 1/2 Inches



Red 34 Inches



Purple 18 Inches

cant find any calculator that could calculate the mass, just a lil too busy atm to do it myself unfortunately

Ngl The idea of a pair of Discus swimmin in here honestly gets me hella excited

I think discus would be too big for that. Because of the shape, I would look at fish that can go in a 29 high.

That would actually make a beautiful reef with some nano fish and inverts

a pair of breeding apisto or rams if you are into cichlids, maybe the smallest dwarf pike might work.

The 'standard' single mated-pair tank (read, most frequently used) for discus is a 29gal aquarium. Not meant to be a display tank.
Thus, there is no reason for a ~60g not to be enough for a single pair of discus, or a trio (2 females, one male), or 3 females. IME/IMO, with discus it is more about water changes, water quality, and choice of individual fish, than about the size of the tank.

The footprint seems to small for discus or anything else under a few inches. It’s 13.5” wide at the widest point, but most of the tank is much narrower, so a discus will only be able to turn around comfortably at the widest point

What do you think about Altums?

I think that would be the same situation as the discus, you could try it. Maybe buy them small, my concern would just be how narrow the tank is on the ends, the only real space seems to be in the center

The round bubble tho not big adds decent space.. I could always buy young, see how it goes, and sell if I have to, Iam thinking either Trio discus, altum pair or trio, or 1 mata mata (Still need to find out how big of a tank they need

Nvm mata mata too big..

could you recommend any good shop stopping fish I could put as the Center piece of the aquarium, preferably eye catching, uncommon, more expensive fish similar to discus or angels
