    heh take a ruler and put it in front of your tank, then imagine its a fish.... 75gal minimum sometimes is an indicator that its gonna need a MASSIVE tank when it gets to be an adult.

    hell i had a pleco grow to be over a foot in a 55gal tank after it started out as an inch big :) so i guess its hard to gauge. dont grow attached to the fish perhaps? then you can just trade it to someone for something else down the road (year till it gets huge?)

    read that on reefhotspot.com, my book says 12 inches, but 100 gal tank. I wish there was one place that you could trust to be true about matters like this. I found another sight that said all a bellus needs is a 55 gal. hmm, who do you believe?
