Black Belt minimum size tank..

[dyajz]

Ive done some research and found a few websites that states a minimum tank size for a single Black Belt is 55g while others say 75g. Which is correct? Also, a 5-6inch BB for $20 is a good deal or would I be getting rip off?

75 much more appropriate as a male can reach atleast 12-14in. if not more, 20 is a fair price

Requirements of an O just a lot more aggressive

Congrats on the pick up! On the regard as to what the minimum tank size should be...you have to consider the size of the fish. Will it be able to turn around without hittin the sides? If it can't you need to upgrade. You could have your own special tank made for you, then it would be better. Like i am gettin a 90gal tank that is 48" x 24" x 18"...haha. Main thing is width.

Key thing is to ALWAYS shoot for larger than you need. Keepin the fish in the minimum tank size possible isn't going to allow you to appreciate the true beauty of the fish as it will be cramped and not as happy. Just my two cents...!
