I'm looking to get one more aquarium going and I'm considering on getting a wolf. As for aimaras what would you guys consider a good tank size and what's the average size these guys grow in captivity?

My ex Aimara; got him at around 10 inches and sold off around 17 inches.
He was kept in a 6 x 3 x 3 tank partitioned in the middle. For the 2-3 years I kept him, fed with mixed diet mostly live feeders, market prawns and bullfrogs. I felt the market prawns helped pumped his size the most during this period.
Post note: regretted selling him off but was downsizing my hobby that time and being Aimara, it was either him or the rest of the fishes.

I don't think there's anyone who's kept them long enough in aqauriums to know max size. But easily will hit atleast 2.5-3feet for sure but will they reach the 4-5feet size and over 80lbs. I'd say tank size to reach the atleast 3 feet and bigger will need 600 gallon and up. That'll take some time to grow.
He just recently put it in though, so maybe the growth will pick up some?
On another not, I agree with you on everything
What would you guys consider an appropriate size grow out tank for one? For an aimara around 15 inches?
