the tank has no width AND no length for such a large fish. There's no decor/cover offered either; the fish is forced to just sit under the light, whether it likes it or not.

length is ok... depth and width is more of an issue to me in this case.

Width is an issue, the length is fine. The tank looks about 7 or 8 ft long.

how long do you think the tank looks?
Longer than rayman's, thats for sure.

it looks like a stock 240g to me. and i think that fish deserves something far larger than a 240g.
I'd say a minimum 8'x8' pond would suffice. Red snakeheads-- among many other large fish-- are not meant for conventional tanks, but imo sadly people persist in keeping them in conventional tanks anyway. Oh well, the guy who started the thread sought opinions, and so i gave mine.

The fish can't even move it's tail or it is on the other side of the tank, that's no swimming.

P45, I don't disagree, that's fair enough - but these fish ARE available in the aquarium trade so people keep them in normal tanks. It's unrealistic for everyone to have an indoor heated pond or an outdoor pond with a tropical climate.
If I had the space I'd try and build an indoor pond with an acrylic panel in a heartbeat and stick a few redtail cats and alligator gars in there, but I live in a 1 bedroom apartment so it's simply not possible.
