as of now zeus is 7ish inches chillin in a normal 20 gallon tank i fear he is getting bigger, what size should i invest in to keep him and any other bichirs and other long fish for life? i was thinkin a 60 gal maybe but idk suggestions? and how much bigger will he get? and anybody in oc know where i may obtain species of polys?
 
They get up to 36" I believe but usually around 24". I think haos Godzilla is around 30". A 7" bichir shouldn't be in that 20g :sly: you should get a 6ft tank to grow him out. Even a 4ft would help for a while

I need to spark up my fish life
 
20 is way too small for just one. I'd suggest a 6 ft tank if you want multiple polys or a 4ft with more depth. I'd say 100g minimum for just the endli and having more in the same tank might be possible depending on species. My endli is 14" with a 10" Senegal and both are still growing.
