Hey everyone!
So I've got a 200x55x50 (cm) aquarium with 3 Myloplus rubripinnis, 8 Myloplus schomburgkii (thin bar!) and 6 Metynnis lippincottianus in the fishroom downstairs right next to the door.
Now I am getting another tank measuring 200x50x50 for the other side of the fish room (a 450 liter tank is standing in between both of them).
That side would be the better choice for the silverdollars so they won't get scared as soon as one opens the door.
BUT the tank is 5cm less deep with a footprint of 200x50cm.

Would you say that the location being more calm would be worth it although they would lose those 5cm?
