They usually get about five or six inches long, but they have been recorded at larger sizes than that. They are not huge fish, but their extremely territorial nature means that they should be kept in a 55 gallon tank or larger if you want to keep other fish with them. You can keep them in a 20 gallon until they are about three inches long, but after that they really need to be in something bigger.



I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

yeah, about 5-6" sounds right, and you definitely want to watch out for agression... don't keep them with each other, other sharks, or fish that they may mistake for other sharks!
