Vote on your favorite tank size, and don't be shy!

I voted, but anything larger than what i have is my favorite. Since I currently have a 36 and my last tank years ago was a 55 I went up from that.

I've had lots of tank sizes but honestly, it depends on so many factors that my answer will vary by circumstances. Right now, the 65 is perfect where it is and the 6 will be a fantastic planted betta tank in another space. I'm already scouting the perfect space for a cichlid tank and I'd like at least a75 for that. So, what's the answer? "It depends!"

It depends on what fish but IMO a great all around starter tank everyone first getting in the hobby should get a 55 gallon. It's big enough for room for error and you have a lot of options In it.

I would say that a 40 breeder is much better than a 55 because you can keep larger fish in a 40B. If you think about it, a 10 inch fish would have a hard time turning around in a 55 because it is only 13 inches wide. My favorite is 40B, 75, 90 and 125

Yah I was just thinking because lots of newbies start out with small community fish but yea the 40B does have a lot of turn around Space.

Thats true, a lot of biginners wouldn't go with bigger fish, but a first time large fish owner may want to start on a 40B. 55s are a great size but IMO I think it's too thin

Yah I can see that they are pretty thin tanks haha.
