My first baby saratoga jadini grow!!

A 220 is not going to cut it long term. But that’s a beautiful fish beat of luck raising it

why is a 220gal tank not enough for it?

I would say 250 at minimum. They get very large, but we need to hear the dimensions of the tank.

You mean 250G for one saratoga Solo? Or like few more cichlids?? As a community tank

would a 7x2x2 works?

A standard 220 has a 6x2 footprint which for a active aggressive fish is pretty tight the rule of thumb usually is 4x the length of the fish for length of the tank and 1.5 for the width so a 8x3 would be ideal but I think a 6x3 tank would work if you keep it solo. Hope that answers your question

 

[Kelly_Aquatics]

I think a 7x2 is still a little tight but doable as long as tank mates are minimal to none as In a tank that size aggression and bio load will be an issue

My jardini goes crazy for crickets/worms, currently in a 40 grow out and similar size. Moving to a 220 next and hopefully that buys me 1.5 - 2 years for a 400+
