in the now!!
all can get over 20 inch the smallest from what i understand would be Intermedia Kelberi and Orino grow slowly but i have seen some in pics on here that look over 24 inches.They are a large preditor .With temensis and pinima gettin the largest Mono and ocell growing quikley.If you want to get some do it and enjoy it they are very fun to watch grow personality to spare i have found overal just a joy to keep!!!!It would take a couple of years for "ANY" bass you chose to outgrow that tank if you got FRY. And there are Alot of venders right now that have fry!!

couldn't do fry because the fish would have to be big enough to not get eaten by the oscar. i have had some monos before but then the tank i was supposed to get them fell through.. now i am building this big tank and know that with the stock i will be putting in it will look empty... i have been just getting ideas of what to add to that tank... i really wanna stick with the sa fish in this tank.

put the fry in the 75 until they are 8 inches then move them to the larger tank!!!!not only are they cheaper when small they are fun to watch grow!!!!
