Tank Size For Congo Tetra

[karin]

Hi all.

I would like to get a bigger fish tank and my plan is to stock around a school of congo tetras. I'll ask more about stocking around that later but right now I'm looking for the tank.

I was looking for a standard 55 gallon at 48inx12inx18in. There is a nice looking 46 gallon on craigslist right now, a bow front at 36inx16inx21.

Should I just stick with the 55 or look into this 46. I thought with the added height and width of the 46 it might be preferable?

Thanks

I have a small school in a 75 gallon, and the 4 feet seems to be more than enough room for them. They generally stick around the middle and pretty calm fish, so would think either one would work.
