Since Central American cichlids are generally territorial and and 55 gallon has a base of of 576 square inches and the 40 breeder is 648 square inches, a 40 breeder seems like it would be more appropriate for a medium sized (4-6 inch) CA cichlid than a 55 gallon. Whats your opinion on this? I'm of the opinion that the 40 breeder would be more appropriate. To make things even, assume you only have 1 pair in the tank. How does length compare to width? Is a long narrow tank better than a short wide tank. Something to think about.
By the way, I got 4 of the 40 breeders and Petco.
