Not sure, it's a corner unit (deep and triangular). It was custome built.
The dimensions are W 21"x H 24" x 2 sides of 20" each. I used to have
regular fresh water fish like: neons, guppies, gold fish etc....but then
decided to make it a tad more interesting
. Lots of places to hide,
caves, rocks, even plants in broken clay pots.
Your tank is too small. I have one red devil in a 5', 100 gal tank and I
could not imagine having another red devil in there, given my current
ones temperment. The neets that are left in my tank are alive because
they are fast, agile, and fit in places the devil can't. The catfish are
alive because the devil respects their poisonous spines and sharp teeth.
Central american cichlids require a lot of space. It is tempting to
buy a lot of them when they are young, but you are bound to have problems
when they mature. Even with 100 gallons, I have had to give many fish away
as they matured, and have lost others to aggression.
Your size tank would be great for a few firemouths or onvicts for example,
but even one red devil will be cramped. They get to be 10"+ when
all-grown-up.
I would think about getting rid of some fish or expect some to die.
Eventually your one red devil will likely liquify all the other fish in
your tank. i.e. after the second devil is dead, the first will start to
get annoyed by the other fish in "his" tank and they will meet a similar
fate.
