Re: Hexagonal tanks

The reason why I personally don't like hex tanks is because they have those corners which kinda distorts the view. With a flat or bow front the view isn't distorted.

Re: Hexagonal tanks

And it makes it look like there are more fish than you really have.

Re: Hexagonal tanks

I like my Hex's for my Bettas and they seem to like them too. They do a lot of vertical swimming but they also have a lot of room to swim back and forth at the top. I take pictures of them all the time and you just have to be careful of the angle and otherwise I do not find them distorted. It is all in what you are looking for. For a tank where you are basing it around one fish, I think they are excellent. Perhaps, for a community tank I can see why they would not be desirable.

Re: Hexagonal tanks

Agreed Rose though 2.5 gallon hex's aren't probably that great for bettas as a 5 would because of the surface area, I think they are cool like you said for one fish or so, there a cool design.
