But even more important than how big they get is the fact that they're very active fish. I personally wouldn't put them in anything smaller than a 30 gallon long. 55 or larger would be better.

| Babelfish Administrator Small Fry with Ketchup Posts: 6833 Kudos: 8324 Votes: 1570 Registered: 17-Apr-2003 | use all there energy up on being totaly mental.  !!! that's one way to put it! .I've never been set up to breed, so I guess no, but I've seen them acting up plenty...they're sold in some stores as feeders aparently so they must do it often enough . At this point I only have the two pictured, they were actually my first tank fish. ^_^ [hr width='40%'] It only hurts when I breathe" |
