Black nasty tank size

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
A 55? No way.

Skip to 4:35. These fish get pretty big. I would think even a 75 is too small.

after the half of the video, you'll see a Nasty
As I said before that is one gorgeous Nasty!

My pair made a 150 gal tank appear small.
Including the tail, the male easily hit 15", the pair would allow "no" tankmates.
That's one beastly Nasty duanes, then again your fish are always impressive.

Thank all of yall so much for the answers and pics! But I have one more question, what would be the absolute minimum for 1 nasty
 
depends on current size of the fish for how long. <<<

I think 150gl minimum and a little bit more is nice for an adult male.
 
Then don't get a haitiensis.

Unless you can score a big tank for cheap. This is a fish that requires a large tank. if you're on a tank budget, they're are plenty of cichlids that will do fine in a 55 gallon.
 
Ok I didn't know they needed such a big, expensive tank could you recommend me some cool cichlids to keep in a 55 gallon
 
Thorichthys sp or acara sp are solid for a 55 imo.
