It's not just the fact that there isn't enough oxygen, fish need room to swim. That's my biggest beef with a hex tank. Think about it. A fish swims back and forth, not up and down. Length is ALWAYS better than height, at least if you have the animal's best well-being in mind. Long tanks are much better than tall tanks.
