Tank shapes

[celebrist]

Had large angelfish in a tall broad hexagonal tank. There was tall rocks and room to forage below the rocks, and they can swim around inside the broad depths . It was so thick you really could not see the far wall very well. Fish seemed happy and bred and had babies in that tank.

The tank is since retired, due to poor viewing through scratched acrylic walls. Was purchased that way. Got worse. Fish now in rectangular tank with round corners.

Sounds like my old 55 hex, including the visibility lol

The shape of the tank can matter more than the capacity in many cases, IMO.

Agreed

I have a 95 gallon hex tank which i love the look of but will agree its limited in functionality. At 25"x29" footprint its a bit more functional than that tower tank you pictured though.

I once saw a sphere shaped tank in a restaraunt...was like "how the hell do they service that thing, dump it upside down?" Huge glass bowling ball and all distortion...dumbest tank ever.
