I posted this under another thread, but I think it got lost....
We are heading to Petsmart tomorrow with the intention of coming home with a 29/30 gallon tank. I was originally planning on a rectangular because I understood they were the best choice...but....
We have a hexagon fish stand sitting in our garage holding junk. It will fit in the corner of my family room rather nicely.
I have decided to move the guppy into the five gallon tank and add one or two more guppies with him. It is going to be the quarantine/hospital tank eventually, but I want it to stay cycled. I may leave the current cory in there and add one more, and get four corys to go in each side of the newly divided 10 gallon.
Here is my concern. I've heard that some fish do not do well in hex tanks because of the lack of water surface and heaviness of the water in the bottom of the tank.
Will our guys (three -- will be five -- neons; two zebra danios; three blackfin tetras; three or four corys) manage okay in a 29/30 gallon hex tank? Is that a good load for a tank that size or do I need more fish?
I'm buying this thing tomorrow, so I need some advice pretty quick!
