Easy, just spend a little more beans and get a short body bass. I bet the max size would be 12".

Your right, captive are a bit smaller considering the conditions... But I bet HULON's Orinos are 17+ inches and still growing.. My point was maybe peacock bass aren't the ideal fish for this guy to keep if he's worried about tank size.
Orino's will get 20"+ in home aquaria easily...if well cared for. I have 2 male orino's that are pushin 20in and they arent even 3 years old yet.
