The question was asked "are hex tanks any good".

Well, yes and no.  They are very decorative, but remember that
the fish holding capacity of a tank is a function of the area
of the air/water interface (serial ? parallel ?) and not the
capacity in gallons.

In other words, they look *real* neat (I have a couple in my
living room) but pretend they are only 6-10 inches tall and
you get a better idea how many fish they can hold.
