Re: Sap or Congo?
I'd say the congo would be best in there. 3 SAPs would need around 35, and seeing as they are more active, they really would need it. So yeah, a congo would be cool.

Re: Sap or Congo?
check craigslist for a new tank- I am getting a 55g with stand, canopy and accessories for $100 this weekend. i check craigslist quite often. Only thing is it is not a guarantee to find a bargain. you may find a bigger tank even cheaper than the sale at petsmart. this way you could have school of SAPs (if space isn't an issue for a bigger tank).

Small is just easier to fit in the mouth.
