Recently Wes stocked up on some AUL near one of my LFS and I was wondering if it would be smart to get myself. I do understand that they grow extremely large and will not settle permanently in my 250g but the species itself has been one that I've dreamt of for a long time. I think it's quite foolish to let desire steer your money as this is not a cheap fish but I would like to ask those who have kept or are currently keeping AULs. I would appreciate information or thoughts. I doubt I'll ever be upgrading past my current 250g but I would like to know specifics like how long I have before they outgrow my tank ie growth speed. This may give me enough time to prepare for a larger tank when they do reach adult sizes.

i would also like to mention that my tank size is around 250gs, 100x24x24 Thanks!
