Anyone know how big of a tank i should build for an
Achara Catfish, Red Tail Catfish, Tiger Shovelnose and maybe some more fish in the future. (Yes i know its going to be big. I don't need a lecture on how i shouldnt own these fish or etc) I am just trying to get an idea of what you guys think the size of the tank should be. Thank you :)

I've seen evidence that properly cared for they can reach 3' in 2 years, so I think a 4' wide tank will possibly last that long. I'd prefer something much larger though.

As doomiedee said, a 12x6 sounds much better at least after the first year.

alright 12x6 doesn't sound to bad. Do you think 4' tall is high enough? (Not counting the stand. Just the tank)
