Aba aba info

I've been looking around, but can't really lock down a tank size for these guys.

What size tank would you think it would take to keep one happy?

I appreciate the link, but it doesn't mention a tank size. I was looking for someone that's seen an adult in person or has/had one.

Trying to get a game plan together

I thought I saw 180 gallon mentioned .

I would think a 180 would be to small for one of these full grown monsters

180 is a grow out. These are like one side of your garage status

Oh ok that's huge.

yeah these are 4'-5.5' fish known to be complete a-holes after they reach 1' attacking anything everything including the hand that feeds them where they can take off fingers by 2'

Will end up needing a 500g or bigger to keep lifelong. It’ll easily reach 3ft in most home aquariums. A member on this forum has one in a private aquarium, over 1000g I believe. The Aba Aba in there is huge. They are aggressive and will tear everything up.
