Which tank would you go with?

This would be for my sa/ca cichlids. Would you want a 150 gallon(72Lx18Wx27H), or would you want a 140 gallon(48Lx26Wx26T)? Which do you think would be better? Also what would a fair asking price be for the 140 gallon? It's acrylic and has some scratches. It would come with a DIY wooden stand. Thanks for your input!

I have a 150g and the 6 feet of length is good for territorial fish, or fish that just like to chase each other.

if they are at opposite ends of the tank they tend not to care about each other lol

While in some situations width is better than length, that is not true for fish tanks

You would be better off with the 6' tank. Used tanks typically run $1 a gallon, a little more if stands and accessories are included.

For your cichlids I would go with the larger tank as well. Give 'em as much space as possible.
