He could for a long time. 75 US gallons (48 x 18 x 21) would be a better choice for life, but 55 US gallons (48 x 12 x 21) would suffice.
It will prob. be enough for life. If you're lucky enough to have it outgrow the 55 it will still take years.
EBJD can still grow to over 8". A 3 foot tank just seems a tad cramped to me. You definitely COULD do it, but I'd go for the slight upgrade.
Hmm. I'm not ignoring you guys or anything. I'm going to buy a small 2inch EBJD. It will be the only in the tank, then maybe upgrade later. The only thing stopping me upgrading is the weight of the tank vs my bedroom floor lol. So a EBJD could happily thrive in a 3ft tank, but it would look a bit cramped?
Well no, I don't think a full-grown EBJD would be happy in a 3 ft tank. The weight of a full 55 US gal should be fine for a room on the second floor of a house.
These fish grow very slowly, so if you want to grow one out in the 42 that's fine, but if you don't plan to upgrade then maybe look at some fish that stay in the 6" range when full-grown.
The tank i was upgrading to weighed more than half a tonne. lol
So If I got a 55 gal tank, could any other fish go in with the JD?
