In captivity most of the specimens will not reach it's good monster size, like for example Oscars, some may go 14-15 inches, well there are cases where in captivity they achieve that but mostly are obese or maybe they inherited monster sized-genes.
Don't be so rude... Well what if there is a 3 foot jardini? Not much to say be civil.
Rude? I just ask a question!! If there is one, I want to see it!!! People on this forum wear they're feelings on their sleeves.. Nothing rude about asking for proof!!
Jardini HAVE THE POTENTIAL to reach 3ft. I never said they reach 3ft, personally I do not know of any that large and it would be a huge feat to get one to that size. The largest I have seen would have been around 30" in a public aquarium and it looks like they were giving it an entree, main and desert of roids.. No way a fish of that calibre belongs in a 5ft tank.
You might be right, but I've seen bigger fish put in worse situations, so in my opinion his jardini will be fine in a 5x3 tank!!!
Sheesh again with the tank dimension arguments, most will agree on this, the bigger, the better. Also try to budget it out right for you, what do I mean by budget is get the right deal with the right dimensions.
If you buy a baby Jardini that tank will work for 3-5 years. You may want to get a bigger tank down the road. The fish will live for potentially 20 years. A lot can change in that time period. Raising the fish you may fall in love with the hobby. Your tank is pretty good size. I would go for it. This site is great, and many valuable opinions can come from here, but opinions they are.
