How big of a tank am I looking at to raise an adult striata? Just wondering if my 50 gal is enough.
How big of a tank does C. Striata need?

Gallons/litres is ambiguous, what matters are DIMENSIONS, particularly length and width. Minimum size for adult for life would be 72"L x 36"W x 20"D (187 UK Gallons/ 853 Litres). To RAISE a juvenile, again it depend on the configuartion of your 50 gallons, hopefully it's a good length and width, depth not being critical, but if it's say 48"L x 15"W x 18"D I'd say for both physical space AND volume of water to tolerate waste, up to around 14" maximum.

If your thinking about your space and your pocket,I think it would be enough for a single specimen,but it wouldn't reach its max size,The biggest aquarium would make anyfish
happy and reach its full potential,always pick the biggest possible tank..heres a photo if a striata ,I think one of the biggest striata Ive seen so far
they are very nice to eat too
soft meat less bones very tasty we've done this one time when we had a drinking session..we stuffed and grilled it
