hello, I'm relatively new here and my question is what size tank would you experts say to be the minimum size for keeping ATFs? (And any other tips on keeping these great fish.)
I've kept 3 individuals in the past, with all 3 dying rather tragically and I was quite discouraged that I haven't attempted to keep them since.
The first one grew to 8 inches and was in a 125 gal. One day it got freaked out and ram into the tank wall, convulsed, and died right in front of my eyes.
The second one was about 5 inches and in a 60 gal. It met pretty much the same end when it ram into the wall.
The third one was in a 125 and one night I turned on the room light, it freaked out, jumped outta the tank by busting through the acrylic cover, landed on the floor, convulsed, and died.
