I have a 45 gallon riparium, the dimensions are 48" long and 12" deep and around 8" tall. Would this be too shallow for an ABF or could I get away with doing it?
30 gal. is fine, I have two in a 30 gal. just make sure you add crickets to their diet.Noob question recommended size aquarium for ABF? I heard one can be house comfortably in a 30g but not sure...
+1 I love ABF mini aros just keep a good lid on the tank I've lost a few dried up on the floor.My butterfly fish never leaves the surface unless startled. IMO you can keep them in a few inches of water.
What matters is that they love to hunt. You'll see what I mean when you feed them crickets. I wouldn't go less than 3ft tank length.
