I am a fan of using shallow tanks, because they give a lot of room for the fish to swim in and it is very easy to maintain.

Would 6 adult Bass (let's say Azul) + 2 pleco be good for life in a 150G wide tank?

72" Length x 30" Width x 16" Height ~ 150G

What do you think?

:D
 
no...you'll need atleast 8ft length for life....IMO. 16" height is kinda short as well .....
 
You may be able to use that tank for three bass at most. It is pretty short

WHATS THE LOGIC IN THAT STATEMENT???? i agree with GANGSTER on this one, 8' length and the 16" existing height is shorter than a stock 125 gallon... whats good for you isnt always good for your fish
 
I see! I just want to plan ahead of my 6 new mystery bass. They are barely 4" long and they are fighting with each other in the 80G >.<" so it got me thinking of getting a new tank.

Anything over 72" x 30" x 18" in dimension is impossible to bend thru the stairway

Anything over 16" in height is too heavy for me to move downstairs

I can't build a custom tank either, because it's an unfinished basement

I saw a 96" L x 36" W x 12" H ~ 150G frag tank for $1000, nice dimension, but it's a bit too short and it's open top >.<" my last nigro jumped out a 15" tall tank, so a 12" H tank is like pushing my luck x.x"

Someone in my area is selling a 500G acrylic tank + filters and sump (96" L x 30" W x 39" H) for $2500. It's a pretty good deal, but then again, it's next to impossible to move it down to the basement

If I sell the extra 4 bass out, maybe a pair will work in 72" L x 30" W footprint???
