I have 2 and they will need a 8x30x30 soon. and I think mine are one of the smaller breeds. I'm no expert . So ill let some one else answer it for you.

Captive Kelberi can live in a 180g for life. Most will tell you no but I have yet to see captive Kelberi over 20". You can only keep one because 5 would be too many for a 180. Anything less than 5 will result in aggression problems.

I know you know your stuff but I have had two Kelber I in the 16 inch range that could easily have gotten bigger. 180 is a stretch for all
Peacocks imo

i can partially agree with you. Back when I had this wild Kelberi from R1 it looked like it could easily push 20"+. I am referring to farm bred captive kelberis which rarely get over 19". Like I said one farm bred Kelberi community with other type of fish in a 180 might be ok.
