At what point do you feel that a fish is too big in your tank??

Arowanas i can accomodate until 22 + inches

In general i could probably tolerate 20 inches. Anything bigger than that, i will feel uneasy since my tank is not that big. 180 G.

I just keep crammin' 'em in until their fins stick out the top. (J/K) :ROFL:

I base that decision on behavior. The fish "tell" you when they need more room.


LOL yeah ..my limit would be 20 inches. Have to get a wider tank to accomodate something bigger.
 
Full grown pacu in a 12g, you got to run the powerhead throuch a hose directly into their mouth.

Guppy do you have a webcam in my fishroom? :ROFL:

Actually, with anything other than an arowana, I'm currently limited to 20" as well in my 200 since it's only 24" wide and 20" tall. It'd be very difficult for anything larger to turn around.
