I am talking about my personal experience. I feel that the extra 6" of depth has helped in someway. Like Marrone said, when a fish darts it does not spook the other fish.

Any of our tanks that we keep in an apartment or house is always going to be to shallow for any fish we can maintain. The average tank is maybe 24" in height and the bigger the tank the better but unfortunately it is impossible to have a tank that can adequately manitain any fish from the ocean unless we took a spare bedroom and made a tank out of it and even then that still is not sufficient, but it would be nice.
