Hex
fish tanks offer 2 more angles than basic rectangular tanks for viewing
fish. Of course, for some people, this is not necessarily a positive.
Some people, quite reasonably, prefer to view their aquarium life from
a large plane, from the front of a basic, rectangular-shaped tank from
which more can be seen at once.
But the 90 degree angles where the four sides of these rectangular
tanks come together can obstruct the view a bit. Hex fish tanks, on
the other hand, have only 60 degree angles at the seams between sides
(and acrylic tanks often have no seams at all). This gives a good
viewing vantage point.
One of the most popular places to put hex fish tanks is in a corner.
Of course, newer corner-shaped tanks are also becoming popular for
corners. Your choice may depend greatly upon your personal tastes
and the overall décor you want to display. The hexagon-shape
of hex fish tanks is interesting, regardless of what you have inside
it. And when you add the beautiful underwater environment within it,
the effect can be breath-taking.
