The 40s are 18” wide but only 36” long. Is why 75 gallons are usually preferred. Best of both (40 and 55). We just bought a 90 for our FH so she has the upper swimming space too.
My 40 is a standard 12” wide. And my 55 is also 12” maybe a couple more inches but still I think it’s stupid that it’s this thin
Oh interesting. I’ve always thought the breeders were desired cause of their wide footprint. Never owned one. Though currently Petco has a 50% off sale near me so that may change!
Only recently learned about footprints. Honestly never knew there were “breeder” tanks until this year after I already had my 40g and when I got my 55g I had no other choice, my grandma bought it as a gift so it was this or nothing.
For a fh it will be a tight fit. Get a convict or a rainbow cichlid.
Or maybe a Santa parrot, if it's available .
I’ve owned a rainbow cichlid before but passed from ich in its gills. Wasn’t very colorful but had good personality
I'd say get a good convict male ( pick the most dominant of the group) and grow it out, he'll be a beast . I've seen some good old beast of a convict here on mfk.
Don't remember when I took a screenshot but something like this.
Lots of things to keep in a 40. Sajicas are nice. I’ve kept Panamensis in a three foot tank.
