FrozenFins Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Whats your favorite Tank Size? I really like 20 gallons/ 29 gallons, I think that they are a perfect size for breedinf community fish. You can breed fish and have a community of other fish (breeding apistos and having cardinal tetras, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle Fan Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I like the 75 gallon because it has enough depth and length to allow larger groups of tetras to display their normal schooling behavior, and with its depth and height it allows to accommodate somewhat larger plants, and assembled pieces of driftwood to be combined to create caves and hiding places for dwarf cichlids and similar fish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I like the 15 gallon size tank. Because, it's what I have. I also like the proportions. I think it looks better than a 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binkysmom Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 specifically the 20 long 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickS77 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 90 Gallon. I like the 48x18 footprint and at 24 inches deep it's easy to reach into the tank for maintenance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second @MickS77wosh I had that instead of my 60. It’s like a 75 but you get more front on viewing area 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorsalfin Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I like 40's or 3ft tanks for my apistos. There's enough room for a pair to get away and chill but also enough space to scape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiclid addict Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Big as I can get I’m sure I’ll eventually grow out of this but for now as big as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Depends on what I want to keep and or spawn. So my favorite tank size is ... the next one I manage to sneak in the house ... lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric R Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 20 long and 75g are both nice sized due to their footprint. Unfortunately, I only have one. 10 gallons are actually surprisingly useful if you know what to stock them with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I picked 55 gallon and wish I'd gotten one. If it wasn't such a terribly tedious and expensive process, I'd switch out my 45 for one. Anything over that would take over too much of my small living room. A 20 gallon is good, as you can pick long or high depending on what you want to put in there. I also like the 40 breeder for its good size combined with reasonable depth for easier maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 i like the 120's at 48x24x24, it is big enough that while large it doesnt take up a whole room. 75&90's would be a good 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 10 gal. is a great multi purpose project tank. My 29 planted is the most interesting. The extra height of the 65 makes it hard to clean.. If I have to pick one, it is the 75 gallon. Dimensionally the 75 allows for better viewing and larger hardscape and fish options without crowding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
