African tigerfish aquaria

[DAZZA]

Hi all

I've just aquired 1 African tigerfish in my 150US gallon. I've gone and ordered 2 more, which will be with me on Friday (25th).
The plan was to grow these fish to 5-6" then select the most proportional tiger for myself and sell the other 2.
With the advise i gained from other members (especialy Tigerfangs), i was planning a 360 (96x36x24"), for the single fish.
What tank size will i need, if i deceide to keep all 3?

Just come back from lfs. Bought another 2 tigers. So will have 5 on Friday.

For the long haul on multiple ATFs, I would suggest at least 750g (10'x4'x3'). It might be possible in a smaller tank, but that that's my recommendation.

I would try to get larger than 350 but I really like the idea of buying multiple and picking the best... that is what we did when we were picking out our silver this summer...

Correction to my prior post, 750g 10'x4'x30".

Thanks for the info. Time to do some research.

cool fish. cant wait to see pics. you will need a very large tank bec they are skittish from what i have heard.

yeah mine is prety skitish but great once feeding time come. if you really want to keep 3+ look into doin a pond unless you have the space for comparable tank.
