Yesterday, I saw some bigger tanks. 120g, 240g. Now I want one. Someone, stop me ! My tanks seem so little now. Makes me want to have a couple of bigger tanks than a bunch of small ones.
Anyway, would a long tank be better than a deep tank ? I like the long tanks better; seems like they'll be able to swim further, easier to see the fish and do WC but perhaps fish might prefer a deeper tank so they can swim in all directions instead of back and forth ? The long tanks are at least 18" deep. The deep tanks are about 2-4' deep (not tall but deep), more square than long. I suppose these will be hard to get in the door.
Also, big tanks seem like they might have problems too. If a fish gets sick, that's a lot of water to treat and a lot more fish at risk. I understand about hospital tanks but for some problems, it seems like treating the whole tank is more sensible.
Not that I'm actually going to get one or anything. I'm going to Tanks Anon. This is purely for educational purposes.
