I currently have a 55 gallon, 48x13x20 with two Jack Dempsey, one green terror, two convicts, one jewel cichlid. three africans, one texas cichlid. They are all about the same size 1.5 inches. I am looking to purchase a larger tank to move some of them. I was looking at a 120 gallon long 60x18x26, or a 120 gallon high, 48x24x24. What would be a better tank for my cichlids? Longer or higher? Price is about the same! :help:
purchasing new tank, what is better

High dosen't matter too much with the JD's, go for the big footprint, length and width so they can have more sqaure footage
I'm most likely to go with the longer tank and put the American's in the bigger tank. Right now I am having no problems with aggression towards each other, still I would like to get the new tank cycled before they get bigger. :look:
