Bowfin tank question?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Bowfins (on average) hit 2 feet or so. That tank will be plenty unless you get an exceptional large bowfin.
 
Did you get yours from jonahs by any chance?
 
Haven’t gotten the fish yet; dong my research first so I will not have to stress the fish by moving it and can just get the right tank setup from the beginning, but if this Jonah’s is a good place to get bowfins I’ll keep him in mind for when the tank is ready to stock!
I haven't ordered from them, but I hear they are very good with native fish and know a lot of other members have gotten fish from them with great results.

Congratulations on your responsible attitude regarding this new acquisition. Truly refreshing when compared to the all-too-common "I just bought an XYZ Fish and know nothing about it...Help!!!"

Thanks, my fish ( like all my pets) are like my children and I want them to thrive; it is after all my job as their mother to provide them with everything they will ever need! So I start planning my tank sometimes years before I setup and get the fish; there are a lot of important things to think about, information to gather and things to learn.( I don’t want bad surprises, they’re not fun)
