Whats the minimum tank size for a single Green Terror?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
55 -75 depending on who you ask. A 75 would leave you room for some dithers though which are good

Yeah, I do agree a female could do a 40 breeder nicely since they don't get quite as big

Depends how patient you are.

If you keep a male for life he can exceed 10", so you are best going for something like a 75g.

However, If you don't plan on doing so, you may get away with a 55g.

I would always reccomend the larger the better, though.
 
If we are talking about the Gold Saum green terror, IMO 75 gallon at the smallest. At the least you want a tank at least 4ft (48 inches) long and at least 1 ft (12 inches) wide. This will give them swimming room. A 40 gallon breeder (36 inches long) way to small to give even a female green terror room to swim about. Think about if a fish is 8-10 inches that only give the fish 2 feet to swim :( , Adult males would be cramped in a 55 but its possible. i have seen males 11-12 inches long from head to tail and females just as big. so a 75+ will give them more room, which keeps them happy , wich means less stress for them. :)

Well said. The key word is swimming room. A 12" fish needs space. The less stress the nicer they look as adults.
