Fish Tank Showdown: 20 Gallon High vs 20 Long!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Hi Everyone - at one point in the video I say a 20L is 3ft, I meant 30in (which is what I say in the rest of the video). Thanks for watching!

[@ItlnBear60]

Thanks for the video. I'm looking to take a 20L and divide it into 4 sections, housing a Male Betta in each one.

[@themaineadventure4687]

20 long here. It's like a widescreen tank.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Very true! : -)

[@soggyfries4347]

hahah it really is.

[@carbrickscity]

Several things not mentioned in the video: -20 high holds slightly more water (around 1 gallon more) than the 20 long -20 high has less water evaporation than 20 long (due to less surface area) -20 high can have deeper substrate -5:18 The 2 ends of the 20 long may not be well lit if using same light as 20 high -If you use 2 filters, 20 long is better since you can fit 2 filters further apart -20 long usually don't come as a kit -Glass is thicker on the 20 high

[@ikorraks]

You can fit more gallons in a 20 gallon tank? Why are they all called 20 gallon tanks?

[@carbrickscity]

Because they want to. It's convenient to call it 20. You can do the measurement yourself. The actual volume of the 20 long is closer 19 gallons. 20 high is closer to 20 gallons. You can't fit more.

[@ihatevoyager]

The 20 long is more aesthetically pleasing because the added 6 inches in length give a more mid sized tank impression than the 20 high which seems barely bigger than a 10 gallon. and the added length has practical application if you are keeping dwarf cichlids. I feel like the 20 tall mainly exists because the compact dimensions are more practical to most homes.

[@Lowdermoomoo]

My husband bough me a 10gal and accidentally broke it, so I grabbed a 20gal long cause I’d been debating between a 20gal and the 10gal in the first place, and today my husband goes “YOU GRABBED ONE 3x THE SIZE OF THE 10!” It looks so much bigger 🤣

[@soggyfries4347]

the 20 long is just a sexy beast.

[@kevinbrislawn5918]

20 long IS THE way to go..it just looks better than a square box tall 20

[@anthonyragan2696]

I'm a big fan of the 20-long, particularly as a first aquarium.

[@janicelange8987]

Started with 20 Talls, but I’m in love with my 20 Long.

[@TheThunderer1701]

Thanks for the vid! Personally, I like the 20-gallon long... especially with planted tanks. Easier to do plant work all around. It looks nicer, IMHO and for schooling/shoaling fish, the extra space length-wise is simply more pleasing. This is NOT to say that I don't like 20 highs... I do!

[@jonathansimpson1106]

Good comparison 👍 My friend just gave me her 20 high the other day and I was just sitting here looking at 20s and cube aquariums and was like, cubes hold more water in 24s×24s but you get less in length for swim room. If you're trying to have more swim room then long aquariums is what you want. If you want different swim levels then a tall aquarium is what you need to keep top swimmers away from bottom swimming fish, making it seem like a big aquarium full of different fish. It's a hard decision but it all comes down to your fish of choice and the space that you have available to place the aquarium. Pick your aquarium based on your favorite fish that you would want to raise and that'll help out a lot when it comes to picking out an aquarium. Dinosaur Bichirs anyone? 😆 I have a 1 year, 5 month old 55 gallon reef tank that I want to make freshwater again but looking at my new 20 high and it's compact size... there's just something about nanos that I like that my 55 gallon and 220 gallon doesn't quite offer..maybe it's the lightness of it and simplicity. Nanos are easy to move around.

[@sherrysfishroom6597]

I loved the video of the comparison. I love my 20 long. It gives the impression of a large tank and like you said the real estate is bigger. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@stevehornshaw4478]

Thanks so much. Exactly what I was looking for. 1st class presentation. You have a perfect voice and presentation style. Informative, interesting and contained everything I needed.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you! Appreciate you watching.

[@rae1711]

I was debating between the two till I realized a 29 is the same length as 20 long but taller… I’m going with the 29 since it seems to have the best of both.

[@MWilk098]

a 29 is almost 100 pounds heavier.

[@michaelbotting806]

I have a 20 gallon high tank (Aquaone 510). I do like that it has the different heights for different fish to inhabit. Currently I have 4 platys, 7 Glowlite tetras, 5 ember tetras, 1 Bolivian Ram, 1 Bristlenose catfish, and 2 Golden Mystery snails. And they all get along quite well

[@eeemoose3494]

A 29 gallon is the best of both tanks

[@pointnozzleaway]

yeah, was thinking the same

[@jasonearle2900]

Of all my tanks. 20 gallons up to 150 gallons. 20 long and 33 long are my favorite tanks. Love watching the small fish school.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

That is certainly fun!

[@getoffmyhack9591]

One thing that I was told when I first started keeping aquarium fish (years ago), was that most all fish like to swim back and forth and not up and down. Having a longer tank gives the fish more room to do their natural thing, which is to swim.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Their is a lot of truth to that.

[@JW-gf9sq]

I was on the fence , deciding to get a 20L or 20 H tank.......but thanks to your video & some of the comments i read...... im going with 20L.......thank you.....now i can go tank shopping.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Very cool! I know you will enjoy it.

[@highbrass7563]

I have an old 20 High tank with a variety of small tetras. Amazing tank. Lot of life in it

[@aquaticcentral6341]

20 high better viewing and if you stock it right no really aggressive fish with tall plants you have a beautiful tank

[@rev.jesseabelchristianlife6693]

I like the 20 high as a showpiece aquarium. I have a 20 high in my living room with artificial coral by "instant reef" in it. The deeper tank allows for taller rock or coral arrangements.

[@famousseagull2249]

My tall tank is so amazing! It doesn't take up alot of space and it was very cheap for 20 gallons I recommend taller tanks!

[@scottmurphy4946]

i am eye balling a 20 long now in my local store would love to do a plant carpet for half of it then do a mountain scape of rocks and sticks

[@karlsten6946]

This is one of the best info videos I have seen. The information was clear and informative. Thank you.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you! Appreciate you watching

[@SaintNicholasFan]

This is why I’m getting the Aqueon 29. It’s the best of both worlds.

[@thatamericansailor6078]

20H is good for me so it can fit on my dresser just so I can have something to look at in my room lol. I'm somewhat wanting to do a planted 20 gallon High Gourime community tank somewhat like how I'm doing my 55 gal Angelfish tank in my living room ;)

[@samanthairish8467]

my favorite size is a 29 high, but I have a 20 long set up as an amazon river biotope with the hob filter on the end instead of the back to give the flow lengthwise. really has that miniature river feel for me and the fish seem to like it too. they all wait at the other end at feeding time for the food to come to them.

[@mikaelafox6106]

That sounds really cool. Do you have a lid? Or no concerns about any jumpers? I really think the idea of having a hob at one end is really neat.

[@raycin1664]

Love your video's Thanks, I'm currently building a fish room with 3-20 long tanks on a rack, can't wait for it to be done.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

That will be a nice set-up!

[@michaelpressler5132]

I want to do the same with two, one South American, and one Asian.

[@fishywishes8150]

I recently bought a 20 long and I really like it. I'm going to use it as a grow out tank for my jaguar cichlid fry. Your tanks look amazing! I hope my plants will grow as nice as yours.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you

[@spectrum7067]

I use a high since i dont have much horizontal space to keep it and it fits in also its a nice column of water to see different fish at different levels with but long def looks better

[@sbenson-miles762]

This is an interesting topic as both tanks are great for certain fish . I'd be torn in which to have but again it depends on the fish .

[@jlathem56]

I know this is nitpicking but a 20 long tends to be better for oxygenation because of the surface area too. This allows me to grow out a little longer before moving the fish into another tank.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

That is a very good point!

[@Caranthirn]

I prefer 20 high because i use high substrate with high stem plants. Also i mostly keep live bearers and tetras. If i wanted to keep cichlids or gouramis i would go with 20 long.

[@Error-lt6zr]

the best way I explain it to anybody is imagine a rectangle typically the long side is horizontal not vertical so imagine the tank being the rectangle, witch one would you rather have? The rectangle standing upright or the rectangle that's in a normal position witch is horizontal?

[@ItlnBear60]

which, not witch

[@ejfishes7610]

Great points, I need to pick up more 20L.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Glad I could feed the fish tank addiction. : -)

[@EricFialkowski]

I picked up one of each during the Petco $1/gal sale. The 20L is in use with my Platy fry, the 20H is still un-used. Guess that says which I prefer. I might try and find a 15. Same footprint as the 20H but not as tall.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

I'm sure you will find good use for the 20H as well! : -)

[@uglychncj7088]

So late but, YOU SAVED MY LIFEEEEE we’ve been looking for a cheap 20L and had 0 luck they’re so expensive if you’re also getting a hood! And the kits are 20H! The deal ends the 2nd of feb!!!!

[@ksmaynard1]

Great video, I prefer the 20 high for the water column space that being said I also prefer the 29 gallon to a 20 😊 where I get the best of both

[@andyrandom1253]

Awesome detailed explanation

[@earljones3481]

But the real question is...which one holds more water??

[@Arc-ZN]

The long If you dont fill to the top the long has a bigger foot print so half inch from the top is more in the long

[@JurrassicAss]

One may have more surface area than the other but the volume is still 20 gallons. :0

[@dagnal1367]

The 20 high holds 19.9g and the 20 long holds 18.7g. So the 20 high holds an extra gallon of water than the long

[@andy305mia]

lol, if there is a difference between the two, then the name of the tanks are incorrect

[@andy305mia]

@@dagnal1367 So should be called a 20 high and a 19 long

I was debating between the long and the high so I just asked my 5 year old, she goes “THE LONG ONE DUH!” So I grabbed the long one…. I just realized that while you were taking about ease of use, that I’m 5’2 and need a step stool to work on my 29gal and that my daughter was completely correct in her decision.

I like the 20 long but it may be easier to gravel vac a 20 tall. I'm upgrading my two 10 gallon tanks and getting a 20 long and a 29 gallon to start a fish room. I want to raise corydoras in the 20 long and start a mixed community tank in the 29. Just collecting everything I need one paycheck at a time, waiting for the next 'dollar a gallon' sale.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Sounds like fun!

[@OZtheShark]

Very helpful bud, thanks!

[@ieronimo18]

i prefer the 20 high because it takes up less space against my wall in my small living room.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

They are good for that!

[@bdom715]

20 long all day, unless you want a deep substrate. More swimming room, better atmospheric exchange (this could be a caveat if you’re trying to keep co2 in I’d imagine, not really a FW guy), easier to maintain, better light penetration. Best choice for a nano reef tank imo. Always surprised that these are so much less popular than 20H but I guess the longer length makes finding a suitable stand or place to put it more difficult.

[@bmorefunnyman1]

20 high with a second level might work. Just need a nice sized acrylic slab and some adhesive and you could create that border.

[@sherluthien]

Always enjoy your videos....helpful and well done! Thank you.

I'd choose the 20 long as well for the same reason. I'm a cichlid keeper first and I keep plants for ornaments and functionality.

Regina Rena The female betta may snack on smaller shrimp from time to time, so you'll just have to watch how the shrimp do, but the fish might work (just watch the female betta with the guppies too).

New to the hobby. I definitely prefer the 20 long! Since I have a Betta I value the extra horizontal swim space for him (: I don’t grow tall plants (mainly easy stuff like anubias), and it’s easier to clean since I don’t have to get up on a stool or something (it sits on a dresser). But since I’m a noob maybe my opinion will change later on 😃

For the guppy breeding tank for the 20 high. My question is how do you make water changes. I feel like there’s too much plants and fry in it

The fry tend to move out of the way of the gravel vac. The gravel vacs we use also have a grating inside to prevent fish from getting sucked up.

[@ChrisFlips]

What kind of filter is that? or any new ones you would recommend? Also heater brands? Keeping betta

I just use ATI Hydro sponge filters in most my tanks. For single tanks I like hang on back filters. Either Seachem Tidals or Marineland Pro series.

@@PrimeTimeAquatics thanks man

[@DuzzyDobbin]

Hi there, we are about to embark on a show tank just curious if a 3ft x 2ft x 3ft high is too tall we’ve gone that way based on room. We are going on a planted Malawi Cichlid tank or a large colony of Tropheus moori “ikola” undecided yet with just anubias Java fern java moss (maybe) and Vallisneri. Love you channel Regards Duzzy 🇦🇺

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you! I have a 4ft 150 gallon - it's roughly 4' x 2' x 30". I personally hate working on that tank because of the height - it's really hard to work on moving things around. I haven't kept large groups of tropheus, but know lots of people who do. The prevailing theme seems to be a lot of space because the males can be hard on each other. Malawi cichlids would have to be limited to, most likely, a breeding group or mbuna or peacocks? I have a 75 filled with mbuna and anything less than that can be hard to manage aggression without proper over-stocking (hard to achieve in a smaller tank), but do have success in 40 breeders with breeding groups. Peacock males can sometimes be even worse. I have a group in a 75 gallon and males are always sparing for hierarchy (granted there are females in there as well). The tank you are planning sounds interesting. Might make a really cool angelfish tank with maybe some rams, apistos, kribensis. or smaller crypto heros species? You could plant it heavily too! I hope your tanks works out great no matter what you decide.

[@Chissy1984]

Very informative video. I'm looking to upgrade my 10 gallon to a 25 gallon. We want to do a planted tank. This is all new territory for me as I've owned fish here and there throughout my life but never had a planted tank. I am going for a community tank. Some top swimmers, some middle swimmers and we have a clown pleco. My real question is what kind of filter do you use? The last 20 gallon long you showed had it in the left side of the tank. Was that a filter? Or a bubbler of sorts? I'd love to know. I don't have much cash......this is all a slow work in progress. Lol. Thanks so much. I'll be subscribing to your channel. You seem very educated.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you! In most of our tanks we run sponge filters only. The main reason is the number of tanks we have to filter efficiently (62 right now). If I was just running a few tanks, I would probably use a hang on back filter rated for the size tank I have. I like the Seachem Tidal 35 and have found the Marinelands to work fine too. Have fun!

Any drawbacks to the 20 long in terms of filtration? Do you need anything special or can you just use a hob filter? I’m still pretty new to the hobby, not even a full year into it yet! I’d love to get a 20L so my fish could have more space to sprawl. Also I’ve found that the tanks that are high don’t have as much room to decorate as I’d like.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

You should be good with any filter rated for a 20 gallon. The 20 longs can certainly give you more space for aquascaping. : -)

[@mikaelafox6106]

Prime Time Aquatics That’s good to know! I love the thought of more horizontal room. There are so many cool rocks that I found at my local fish store, I’m such a rock nut, but I don’t have enough room to use them all. I’ll have to look into a 20L.

I’m 13 and have had a 20 gallon high for 3 years and my 2 angelfish passed away this week, one got stuck on the filter and the other died from an unknown cause. I currently have 1 guppy and a goldfish I won at the fair about a year ago. I purchased a sponge filter to replace the power filter after having many fish stuck. But anyways I’m trying to decide how to stock my tank. I was originally thinking fancy goldfish but I can’t find a good source of how many I could put in and I want a full tank. Then seeing your tank I’m thinking about breeding guppies again since I have in the past and they are so beautiful. how many guppies could I put in the 20 gallon high? Or I also have a 20 gallon long in the attic after upgrading my hamster to a 40 gallon. I can only have 1 tank out though and both would work size wise but which one is better for guppies?
