First and foremost, I have done weeks of research. I know he will outgrow this tank. Yes I have the plans/place for a bigger tank.
Current setup:
55 gallon tank
1 marineland emperor 400
1 tetra whisper "30-60"
1 heater ( rated for a 75 gal, adjustable)
1 dual output air pump powering 2 10 inch undergravel airstones
2 hoods with lights
1 powerhead/filter (not plugged in)
1 powerhead (not installed)
1 awesome baby SA
Only took him 1 1/2 days to start eating after arriving ( ended up being a 9 hour trip for the little guy! Much shorter than I expected)
Arrived at about 3 1/2-4"
As of writing I have had him for 4 days
Currently will only eat crickets, but that's fine, I'm gut loading with hikari sticks
His future tank will be built after I move in 3 months, a custom 8' x 28" x 3' ( L x D x H ) with sump setup ( sump hasn't been planned out yet)
From what I gather that's about 400 gallons, should be plenty for him, and a couple tank mates.
My apologies if this should be in a different thread.
