If your talking about saltwater bluefish your going to need a really large tank, and chiller system

Here's my stocking recommendation: one fish, two fish, red fish, bluefish.

Yes I am talking about the saltwater fish. Someone asked me about the possibility of keeping one, so I was just curious. I know I would need a very large tank, but how large?

Thanks!

They're very large, schooling, fast swimming, extremely aggressive, and migratory. Those pretty much all spell game over for an aquarium.

My best guess would be at least 1000 gallons. They can easily get up to a couple feet long and 20lbs. They also are very migratory, so I am not sure how that would be affected by being confined. They are also carnivorous, and live in schools, so unless you can get a few that are all the same size, they would probably be very stressed.

I would honestly doubt they would work in any home aquarium.

I agreed with Davdev.
