Jardini tank size

[robroy]

Whats the feasibility of housing a Jardini in a tank measuring 60''x22''(H)x20''(w)? It would be housed on its own with a thin layer of sand with some scattered pebbles. The filter turnover is 2500lph.

not very good

try a 270 (72 x 36 x 24)

 

[robroy]

it was a try anyhow!

a 4x2x2 will suffice. 5x2x2 would be good enough n comfortable enough.

did you know they can reach 3ft with proper housing and care??

why settle for such a small tank size?

Thought they only reach about 2 foot in an aquarium?

Martin

that depends


but do you want the full potential out of your jardini or are you going to settle for less based on what youve heard from others experiences?

I am pretty sure even arapaimag doesn't have a 3 foot jardini del, and he has a 15,000 and 50,000 gallon tank

depends on how long he's had em

also depends on diet.

Del have you ever seen or heard of a jardini growing to 3 foot in captivity?
