Min. Tank Size

[Mr._Fishy]

What is the min. tank size for a P. weeksii? I kept one a while back but never got full grown (I think) and was in a 200g tank, so not too sure on the minimum tank size. I decided to rehome it when I moved from California and really miss it. Today I saw that Dave's Rare Aquarium Fish has them and am considering buying one. Can't seem to find much info on the net on min. tank size.

Thanks,
Ryan

As big a tank as you can afford and maintain -Anne

How long would a 4 x 20 last until it got too big? I have a 5 x 2, but didn't really want the whole poly theme for that tank. My 6 x 2 is pretty fully stocked, so he can't go in there. If I decide to keep him in the 5 x 2, that should fit him for life, no?

P.weeksii reach 15-20 inches max so a 5x2 would be the minimum for life the problem would be if you wanted tankmates because they would need to be fair sized to avoid being eaten-Anne
