40 Gal breeder or 40 Gal long

Post by TayHudson » Tue Aug 31, 2010 11:06 am

I won't be getting the 55, instead I will be getting a 40 Gal. I'm not sure which will be better, the breeder or long?

Better for what? The 40 long would be easier to set up as a river tank.

I just wasn't sure if one would be better than the other for any reason.

You are trading length for width with the 40 breeder and 40 L. But, you gain 6" in floor space. (if my math is correct).


40 gallon Breeder 36" x 18" x 16"
40 gallon Long 48" x 12" x 16"
240 - Clowns(15), Polka-Dot(6), Sids(57), Zebra(12), Burmese(5), Red-fin(4), YoYo(5), Sumo(2), Skunk(4), Peckoltia sabaji(1), L144 Black Eye Bristlenose Pleco(3), Odessa Barb(9), Roseline Sharks(6)

I'm extremely happy with the 40B. I love it. I can't wait to get started on it.
