I am looking at a 150gal tank 48x31x24 would this make a good tank for Central American Cichlid's (1 of each, jack dempsey, cuban, FH). These are in a grow out tank right now and all seems fine (55gal). Or should I look for something longer?
need advice on tank foot print & Cichlids

I would look at the 150 long configuration for that type of tank (72x18x29).
although not as wide, the extra 2 feet of length may help when you have two nasty fish that want to be far apart

agree but maybe look into the 150 thats 5x2x2
true. that would be ideal. but in my area, a 5x2x2 tank has to be custom done..
150's in my area are the standard Aqueon/All-glass or Perfecto ones, not available in that configuration..

go for it then.... worst case is you need to put a divider in...
actually, now that I think about it, your right, Oceanic (owned by All-glass) DOES make a 5x2x2...but Oceanic are a FORTUNE in my area
The tank was 2 1/2 hrs. away so I took the wifes car to look at it. I will go back next week in my truck to pick it up. I've went to look at too many tanks that were not what they said they were.
