50g for a flowerhorn?

Mine is in a 55, but I'm looking for a new tank. I would think a 75 would suit him better. He doesn't seem to have a hard time turning even though he is longer than the tank wide..... but he does a lot of glass banging.

i can keep only 1 in that 50 gal. given the amount of space it can reach 16in but i have yet to see one that size
55gl is the minimum but I think it would work but if you want to get his max potential you need a bigger tank...but if your fh is an average looking fh it might do the trick I've seen fh's in a 30gl tank living there for years.

thx aquatic_wonders, ive also seen fh's in a 30gl thats why i made this post but i now see its probably better housing a FH in a 55gl+..
ty again, and thank you everyone else
If you want to condem your Flowerhorn to a 50G, well I feel for the fish. It quite common to see 14" and 15" specimens so you need a 75G bare minimum.
yea, ill probably just turn the 50gl into a convict breeding tank or something small that i can fit in there.. thx
