Rectangular fish tanks are best for better water quality and overall fish health. This is due to the larger surface area between air and water which allows for more efficient gas exchange.
Tank Shape Long tanks provide greater surface area and reduce depth. High tanks provide greater depth and reduced surface area. The greater the surface area of the tank, the better the gas exchange at the water surface - and therefore the more rapid the dissipation of carbon dioxide and the absorption of oxygen.
