A cylindrical style cage is much more important for fish like trout and hybrid striped bass and less important for more sedentary fish like BG, YP, Bass and CC. However sedentary fish survive well in a round cage. A cylindrical cage might be more versatile than a square cage. Cylindrical cages are faster and easier to make in my opinion. Trout and HSB are active swimmers and it is "more natural" and logical for them to be in a round shaped cage where they can actively swim in circles. When one or animals run long distance in small areas on a track, the track is oval and not square. This facilitates rapid continuous movement. Again good job in designing and making that cage. I have one cage with the top shaped as an hexagon, however the bottom is more circular. The remaining 7 cages are cylindrical. My live boxes are rectangular.
