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.
